Hewlett Packard has unveiled two ultra-portable laptops, with the Pavilion dv2 and dv3 offering 'great multimedia experiences while making a style statement'.
The dv2, which at 12.2in certainly doesn't belie its ultra-portable tag, is just an inch thick and weighs in at 1.76kg.
The heart of the machine is a new AMD Athlon Neo processor and storage can be boosted up to 500GB but probably not at the entry level $699 (£475) price.
And for you colours fans out there (hands up please) HP promises two 'striking' finishes in Espresso and Moonlight. We don't know what that will equate to in real colours either but we're guessing at beige and black-grey.
13.3 inch HP Pavilion dv3
The 13.3in HP Pavilion dv3, which weighs in at just under 2kg, can boast up to 8GB of DDR2 RAM, storage ranging from 160GB to 400GB and processors from a 2Ghz Athlon X2 to a 2.4Ghz Turion X2 Ultra ZM-86.
Also included in the laptop, as you may expect, is bluetooth and Wi-Fi capability, a dual layer DVD burner, gigabit Ethernet and an ExpressCard slot.
Three USB 2.0 slots, an optional fingerprint reader and HDMI options complete the specs.
The basic entry level machine is going to cost $799 (£545) in the US.

Alejandro Figueredo Diaz-Perera's recent BOLT Residency exhibition In the Absence of a Body included the artist sequestering himself behind a gallery wall for three weeks, acting as an invisible presence in the audience's encounter with the installation. The work gathered widespread attention for its timeliness (it opened less than two months after President Obama's announcement reopening American-Cuban relations), its simplicity (a wall, a vent, a microphone, two video screens), and the rendering of mobility, absence, and our relation to power structures present in the work.
A consequence of the durational performance aspect of the exhibition was that it allowed Diaz-Perera time to reflect on the nature of his practice. I sat down with him in the month after In the Absence of a Body to ask him what effects the experience has had on his thinking and his work.

What follows is transcript of parts of those conversations. It has been edited for length and clarity.
An audio version is included below as well as a creative response to experiencing In the Absence of a Body.
Schmalz: Tell me about where the BOLT Residency exhibition has taken your thinking about making work.
Diaz-Perera: New ideas are coming from making the piece itself, and new pieces I already have in mind are coming from the experience I have inside the wall.
Schmalz: Can you talk a little bit about that, and about the ways in which the new pieces are being influenced by the experience you have?
Diaz-Perera: I am thinking more in the art that I did after I was inside this space. I saw the reactions of the audience and how they related to the wall and attention of myself being behind it, everything. I am thinking more: "how can I create this space is for creating a tension and a self-awareness of your own body in relation to the space?" And, I'm thinking more in using the space itself, so, trying to find the answers for whatever I'm going to do in the space that I'm going to work in: how to use that space as a tool, physically, architecturally, or because of history—how space relates to the audience as an individual.
Schmalz: So, influencing gallery-goers?
Diaz-Perera: When I think about the audience, I'm not thinking just audience as people who go to gallery to see a show. I also thinking of anyone—members of society—and how the gallery acts as a space to bring people together. Or an art event is a space to bring people together. How you can use that.

Schmalz: This work feels more explicitly political than some of your other works. How do you navigate politics in your work?
Diaz-Perera: I've been working on trying to not be too direct when I talk about politics, because I don't want to create an artwork that is belonging to one side. Meaning, I don't want to be from the left or from the right, or to have a position that is politically—by itself—already established.
Schmalz: So, reflecting rather than having an agenda.
Diaz-Perera: My intentions have always been in a way of meditating about it. I mean, politics are important because they're part of our daily life, and at the end they shape our society and they shape the way we live, and the way we inhabit space. By creating a meditation and trying to make people understand, or meditate, and think about their space as a political one and their bodies as something they relate with the context they're living in. From that meditation, I think you can always have a more sincere answer, a less judgmental answer.
Schmalz: How do you see those politics manifesting itself in space and in structures such as the wall itself?
Diaz-Perera: The same way I was saying politics as related to the individual, in which you are part of a greater, or a bigger situation that's happening in your context. But you as an individual relate to that greater thing in a different way. So, that translates in the way that you also relate with space. The same way that you relate to that: between individual and a greater entity of power, in the middle of that politics, is in a way the same as how you relate as an individual to space. And it goes to different sources, different ways: it's architectural structure, physical structure, the elements are playing in context, or the historical implications of the space itself. I think empowered structures have many facets in everyday life and anything you can think about. But, basically what I'm interested in now is how they manifest in our relation with space. So, our daily life again, but in this case, it's specific to the architectural elements, which are totally part of our daily life.
Schmalz: How do you see empowered structures as related to the physical body?
Diaz-Perera: So, basically, if you can understand that an entity has power over you, or that you're a person, your body is part of this bigger thing, and that you can also inflict change on it as it can inflict change in you. For me, that's a better way to, not destroy the icon, because that will not lead to anything, but at least to be aware of it, and you're kind of set free by doing that.

Frozen assets: Ice Park changes hands
Poor, poor ice park. First its parents, Colin Rolph and Lee Danielson, had a nasty and much publicized divorce. Now, just one year after Rolph won sole custody, the park was put up for adoption to the highest bidder. Fortunately, when a new deal closes on July 1, the park will get four adoring parents who say they want only the best for their new baby.
The proud mamas and papas-to-be: Roberta and Bruce Williamson, Ellen Anderson, and Bob Tobey, all locals who say they're thrilled to be keeping the ice park alive.
At a press conference on Monday, May 12, the four want to make one thing clear. "Iceoplex is not coming in to manage the park," Bruce Williamson says, referring to the national company used by Lee Danielson to manage the ice park he owns in Fredericksburg.
"We will be the management team," the four say, nearly in unison, though they acknowledge that personnel matters are still up in the air.
Of the four, three are avid skaters. Bruce Williamson and Tobey, both in their early 50s, play hockey on the men's team at the park. And though Ellen Anderson downplays her skating prowess, when pressed, she does reveal she was once a competitive figure skater who trained under the same coach as 1976 Gold Medalist Dorothy Hamill and often skated with the Olympian. She even remembers the day Hamill showed up to train with a bad perm an event that led to the famous "wedge" hairdo that became all the rage in the late 1970s.
Though no changes at the ice park are definite, the foursome say they plan to expand all of the park's skating programs, including the hockey, figure skating, and synchronized skating programs as well as lessons.
"This is a really great thing for us," says Roberta Williamson. "We're very happy we could make this purchase"– happy in part, they explain, because they had feared that an outside interest would buy the property and ditch the ice park.
Though they won't comment on the purchase price until it becomes public July 1, they are clear about one thing.
"This is an investment," says Bruce Williamson, who's also an attorney. "We're not intending to operate it to line our pockets." The other owners also have income from full-time jobs (Anderson is a consultant, and Tobey is an accountant.)
Colin Rolph and his wife, Dorothy, did not return messages left at their home or at Rolph's office, but there was a time when the pair told many downtowners that keeping the Ice Park open was their "gift" to Charlottesville, and court filings showed that it was not a profitable venture.
Tim Slagle, the property manager for Rolph who represented him at Monday's press conference, says his clients sold the park as part of reorganizing their real estate portfolio. And, he says, the Rolphs are thrilled to have found buyers who will keep the Ice Park chillin'.
The four new owners say they're not worried about the Park's future– despite lurid trial details from the Danielson-Rolph split. At one point, conflicting orders and shouting reduced an accountant to tears. At another, Danielson vowed to close the money-losing Park and its parent company, D&R Development.
"In my mind," Danielson wrote in an email that became part of the trial record, "D&R no longer exists, and I will do everything in my power to have it shut down along with the Ice Park."
When asked how he feels about the sale of the Charlottesville Ice Park, Danielson reveals that his temper has clearly been put on ice.
"I am very pleased for the community," he says. "I'm hopeful that the new ownership will enjoy a new measure of success that I have found in the Fredericksburg Ice Park."
The four new owners believe they, too, will find an icy success.
"This is not a facility that's doomed to lose money," insists Bruce Williamson. "We looked at the numbers."
"None of us would have gotten into this," Tobey pipes up, "if we didn't believe it could be profitable."Read more on: charlottesville ice park

GREENLAND — On the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the still controversial U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, local advocates working at the Joan G. Lovering Health Center in Greenland recall more turbulent times.
"We still have pickets but the numbers are decreasing. The same people in Portsmouth have followed us. Twice a year for 40 days, an organization comes to our doors," said Linda Griebsch, executive director of The Joan G. Lovering Health Center in Greenland.
The name of the clinic, which performs abortions, but also offers an array of other health services, is relatively new. It was renamed in 2011 after its founder, the late Joan G. Lovering, who passed away in 2002. Before that, it was known as the Feminist Health Center in Portsmouth and has seen its share of protests since services opened in July of 1980.
Roe v. Wade, the landmark court case, was brought to the Supreme Court by Jane Roe, an alias for Norma McCorvey. McCorvey fought for abortion rights and won on Jan. 22, 1973. The defendant, Henry B. Wade, district attorney of Dallas County, Texas, was the challenger.
A year after the Roe v. Wade case, New Hampshire Women's Health Services, led by Joan G. Lovering, opened its doors in Concord, with the sole purpose of providing abortion services. The organization thrived, and made a radical decision to open more clinics in the state, including one in Portsmouth and the Feminist Health Center was born.
It was a chaotic time for women's rights with pickets and protestors constantly attacking the then-downtown Portsmouth clinic. Protestors such as Operation Rescue, an organization dedicated to ending abortion, had threatened the heath center, saying they would ramp up the protests and shut the clinic down for good.
More than 200 volunteers came to support the health center in 1982 when they linked arms and surrounded the building providing a sense of protection from the pickets. A contingent from Operation Rescue drove to the site of the clinic, but after seeing the diligence and commitment of the health center's volunteers, they turned away and never followed through with their protesting that day, Griebsch recalled. But, protesting continued and those clients seeking services often had to walk a gauntlet of protesters.
The center had made a decision that downtown Portsmouth brought little privacy for its clients. In the spring of 1987, Griebsch and the board moved the clinic to what they saw as a quiet, ideal location in Greenland. The hope was for less confrontation between protesters and clients seeking what most would consider a very private medical service.
Griebsch noted that by law protestors are entitled to protest in a nonconfrontational way and must keep off the clinic's property.
"The ability to control our body is essential for opportunity," Griebsch stressed.
For every belief, there is an opposing side. New Hampshire Right to Life is the largest, oldest, and most active NH anti-abortion organization. After attempts to try to reach the activist group, no call was returned for this story. According to the NHRL website, they defend all innocent human life without exception or compromise. Former President of NHRL, Darlene Pawlik, states on the website, " a movement working to respect the God-given right to life by recognizing all human beings as persons who are "created in the image of God" from the beginning of their biological development, without exceptions."
Last Saturday, NHRL organized memorial services at the Concord Landfill for unborn babies, rallied at the Statehouse steps and protested past the Concord Feminist Health Center.
The Joan G. Lovering Health Center has educated women of all ages, with parental notification required for 17-year-old and younger girls. Griebsch said there are healthy discussions about sexuality and education about contraception. The community-driven clinic has provided a safe environment for women to undergo a quick procedure with clean instruments and knowledgeable people.
Abortion using medication is also an option. Medical experts from the clinic monitor the process and allow the client the privacy and comfort of her home.
Violence has always surrounded abortion. Though the protests have always been intense, neither the Portsmouth location, nor the Greenland facility were the scene of more serious violence at clinics seen elsewhere in New Hampshire and the nation.
In 1984, a gunman dressed in all black killed two receptionists and wounded five others at an abortion clinic in Brookline, Mass. The man charged in the case, John C. Salvi III, was a 22-year-old man who lived in Hampton, N.H. and wanted to be a hairdresser. He was described as strongly opposed to abortion.
Police in Hampton surrounded a hotel room in Hampton Beach, but Salvi had already left for Virginia. He wasn't caught until he fired a rifle and shattered the glass doors at another abortion clinic in Northfolk. Luckily, no one was hurt in that attack. In November 1996 Salvi was later found dead in prison, his death listed as a suicide.
In May of 2000, abortion violence was a little closer to home. A second case of arson at the Concord, N.H., clinic caused $20,000 in damages. That case remains unsolved.
Despite past strife at New Hampshire abortion clinics, there is support in some quarters. "Public support for our values are alive, well, and strong as ever in New Hampshire," said Jennifer Frizzell, New Hampshire Senior Policy Advisor at Planned Parent of Northern New England.
Frizzell stressed that harassment and intimidation of medical providers is still an issue.
"We regularly experience in-your-face scare tactics and protest activity in our Manchester location," said Frizzell.
There are very limited doctor offices that offer abortion services, simply for the safety. "We have full-time security to protect entrances. Rarely, but sometimes, people are followed home," said Frizzell.
She noted that the organization is committed to advocating the health of women, helping them with breast screening or detecting ovarian cancer, not just abortion.
"We need to move beyond labels and how people characterize this issue. Politicians are not the experts of women's personal decisions, yet they continue to interfere with women's rights," said Frizzell.
Politically, the abortion landscape has changed, too. In New Hampshire, President Barack Obama and Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan won the women's vote, with both officials supporting abortion.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, in 2008, there were 19,900 pregnancies to the 261,372 women of reproductive age (15-44) in New Hampshire; 69 percent of these pregnancies resulted in live births and 16 percent in induced abortions. In 2008, there were 65,400 women in New Hampshire in need of publicly supported contraceptive services and supplies. Of these, 21,700 were in need of publicly supported services because they were sexually active teenagers, and 43,700 because they had incomes below 250 below of the federal poverty level. In 2010-2011, 16 percent of women aged 15-44 in New Hampshire were uninsured, while 6 percent were enrolled in Medicaid.
"Abortion is one of the safest surgical procedures for women in the United States. Fewer than 0.5 percent of women obtaining abortions experience a complication, and the risk of death associated with abortion is about one-tenth that associated with childbirth," according to the Guttmacher Institute.
Though still controversial and the subject of daily protests and political fights, Roe v. Wade began as one woman's fight. In June of 1969, McCorvey, who was single, discovered she was pregnant with her third child. Texas State law turned her down when she asked for an abortion, because at that time, there had to be evidence of rape, incest, or a medical reason that the pregnancy would endanger a woman's life. With representation of two University of Texas graduates, Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington, McCorvey filed a lawsuit in a U.S. District Court against the state of Texas.
Prompting a national debate, the case went to the Supreme Court that ruled 7-2 in Roe's favor, stating her First; Fourth, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendment rights fell under an individual's "zone of privacy." The court then argued that the zone of privacy was broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.
From either side of each activist, the fight is far from over.

A petition calling for the elimination of armed guards "for the President, Vice-President, and their families" has met and exceeded the previous threshold set by the White House on their We The People petition submission site.
The petition states: "Gun Free Zones are supposed to protect our children and some politicians wish to strip us of our right to keep and bear arms. Those same politicians and their families are currently under the protection of armed Secret Service agents. If Gun Free Zones are sufficient protection for our children, then Gun Free Zones should be good enough for politicians."
Although it will likely receive only a glib response, the petition reaches its quota just as fervor over a National Rifle Association (NRA) ad pointing out this very same hypocrisy has erupted.
The ad, posted just a few days ago, asks, "Are the president's kids more important than yours? Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools? When his kids are protected by armed guards at their school," recalling NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre's interview with David Gregory in which he stated, "If it's crazy to call for putting police in and securing our schools to protect our children, then call me crazy."
The ad was immediately the focus of mainstream media and political attacks. On an episode of MSNBC's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski ham it up after a public viewing of the ad, asking, "What's wrong with these people?" and claiming, "I'm embarassed for this country."
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie also joined the chorus of disapproving voices calling the NRA's use of Obama's daughters in the ad "reprehensible," saying, "the children of public figures should be off-limits to political attacks," according to the Associated Press.
Not one to allow sniveling globalist weasels to slickly and covertly manipulate the public, radio host Alex Jones created his own video response to Obama's recent comments undeniably targeting Jones, while simultaneously confronting Morning Joe's sensationalistic reaction to the NRA's ad.
White House We The People Site and Petition Signature Threshold Increase
Since September 2011, the White House has offered citizens the chance to voice their opinions and have their concerns addressed if petitions garnered enough support to warrant so. The site originally required a signature count of 5,000, however, one month later that requirement was raised to 25,000.
Much to the chagrin of the current administration, the website has consistently failed to produce the type of requests concordant with their outlined agenda. "The last two months of 2012, apparently, saw some 73,000 new petitions," reported the Atlantic, referring partly to the huge surge of secession petitions from states whose citizens requested opting out of the continental United States for a multitude of reasons.
For example, Texas' petition, which was electronically signed by over 125,000 willing Texans, stated that the "US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government's neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending." It blamed the federal government for the NDAA and TSA, and aimed to restore the "rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government."
Infowars.com took part in the rush offering up a petition that went viral calling out British CNN host Piers Morgan for using his position as a media figure to publicly drum up support for subversion of the US Constitution. The White House responded to our petition during the episode of Piers Morgan Tonight on which Alex Jones, co-writer of the petition and proprietor of Infowars.com, appeared.
Earlier this week, the White House announced yet another increase to their signature threshold citing an "overall use skyrocket." They relayed that because "more petitions are crossing the threshold — and doing so much more quickly" that this somehow constitutes a valid reason for upping the threshold to a daunting 100,000 signatures.
Petition to Try Feinstein For Treason Also Reached Threshold For White House Response
Another petition was also able to reach the signature threshold before it was raised, and now awaits the administration's response. It calls to "Try Senator Dianne Feinstein in a Federal Court for Treason to the Constitution."
"Senator Dianne Feinstein has made it clear she does not believe in the Constitution or the inalienable rights of Americans to keep and bear arms," asserts the petition, adding, "She is actively working to destroy the 2nd amendment with her 2013 assault weapons ban. For this reason we the people of the United States petition for her to be tried in Federal Court for treason to the Constitution."
"Feinstein's hypocrisy on the gun control issue has been well documented. In 1995, the California Senator admitted that she carried a gun for personal protection after receiving threats from a terrorist group," Paul Watson wrote earlier this month.
"However, in the very same year she called for an 'outright ban' on all guns for ordinary citizens, sending the message, 'Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in.'"
Infowars' petition calling for 'Gun Free' federal buildings and federal events
Late last month, Alex Jones and Infowars.com launched another petition proposing a ban on gun free zones for, not only Obama, his cohorts and their families, but at federal buildings and any federal events, also adding that all federal security personnel should "turn in their guns."
"Jones and Infowars.com believe there should not be a double standard," our petition declares. "If the government believes gun free zones are a solution for citizens, the same standard should apply to government servants and employees."
As of writing, our petition needs about 10,000 more signatures by January 27, 2013 to reach the original goal of 25,000.
You can sign that petition here.
Although the Obama administration will likely not entertain any petitions not in accordance with the desired agenda, it's clear that the We the People program has become an absolute bust. Frankly, it's surprising the site has not been completely scrapped altogether.
Raising the threshold is one way to ensure that only popular opinions are addressed, however, it also stifles legitimate concerns that may be less popular.

He was the Steve Jobs of Electronica. Robert Moog created the Moog synthesizer, one of the very first electronic musical instruments. And recently Google's Doodle celebrated the 78th birthday of this electronic genius with–believe it or not–an actual working synthesizer.
The Google Doodle for May 23, 2012 is an interactive Moog synthesizer.
A Sound Idea
The Moog synthesizer has drifted in and out of style, first coming to prominence during the time of its creation and greatest use–the 60s and 70s. It was patented in the mid 60s, and then was utilized in classic hits from all kinds of music – from The Beatles classic "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," to The Doors "
More recently, app developers and independent creators who learn how to develop iPhone and iPad apps, have made apps that re-create the classic synthesizer. It's amazing to see this old-school analog technology being adapted in the digital age. More interestingly, how the lower price of the "digital version" of the keyboard has made it more accessible.
Bob Moog at his workbench building another synth.
The Moog keyboard has been a staple of modern music since its creation and continues to inspire and bring to life great music. Let's take a look back at some Moog classics:
- The Doors "Strange Days" (1967) One of the earliest uses of a Moog synth, this song features the moody sound of the instrument (played to perfection by the band's keyboardist, Ray Manzarek) rolling behind Jim Morrison's booming voice.
- The Beatles "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" (1969) The "Abbey Road" album has several Moog songs, but none as amazing as the closing track on Side One, where a building wall of synthesized white noise finally overtakes the song.
- Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" (1975) The progressive space-rock group's classic ode to loneliness is delivered using the Moog sound.
- Donna Summer "I Feel Love" (1977) The recently departed Queen of Disco melted turntables with this pulsating romantic song, whose main sound is the Moog (played by keyboardist Giorgio Moroder).
- Blondie "Heart of Glass" (1979) Blondie charted an international Number One single (it sold nearly 3.5 million copies) with this New Wave/Disco song. It features not only a Moog synthesizer but it's also the first use of a Roland CR-78 drum machine on recorded single.
- Coldplay "Paradise" (2011) The band uses a wide range of synth sounds on this track, along with its traditional piano and guitar attack.
Numerous other artists and bands have created tracks with a Moog synthesizer, including musical acts as diverse as the Beastie Boys, Parliament, Santana, Stevie Wonder and The Doors. More recently, artists like Deadmau5 and Alicia Keys have also been spotted using a Moog.
Watch Brett Domino play Daft Punk's Aerodynamic using the Google synth.
Living in an Electronic World
Although his invention was embraced by musicians around the world (even today by students eager to learn music production or those who want to learn how to make your own beats), Robert Moog remained humble, stating "I'm an engineer. I see myself as a toolmaker and the musicians are my customers. They use my tools."

Nature's True Health recently announced it will be selling its latest product the Liposomal Vitamin C on both Amazon and its web store. This is to allow more people access to this latest breakthrough technology that can help them live naturally healthier lives.
Vitamin C plays a very important role in the body as an anti-histamine. It reduces inflammatory conditions associated with allergies, colds, flu, and fever. Studies have also shown that getting the right dosage of Vitamin C can help improve lung function, reduce infections and many forms of oxidative stress that affect the blood vessels. As a result, it is necessary that the body gets the right amount of Vitamin C in order to stay fit and functional.
Conventional Vitamin C are water soluble vitamins and they do not efficiently interact with the body's cell membrane wall which is made up of fatty acids. This simply is because water and fats or oil do not mix efficiently. It is estimated that only about 20% of the oral intake Vitamin C is absorbed in the bloodstream. The other 80% accumulates in the colon leading to unpleasant digestive complaints and diarrhea. Liposomal Vitamin C completely resolves this disadvantage by bypassing the digestive system for its delivery to the human cells. It uses the liposome, an intracellular vesicle that can be used to transport drugs or any other substance in the body. This helps to aid absorption, increase the vitamin C concentration in the blood and drastically reduce digestive discomfort.
The Liposome technology is a powerful solution when it comes to the assimilation of vitamin C into the body bloodstream. The body recognizes the liposomes as natural ingredients, allowing them to enter the bloodstream and cells while carrying the Vitamin c nutrients.
With this breakthrough technology, people can now experience the true health benefits of Vitamin C, some of which are:
• Boosting the immune system
• Muscle repair
• Fight fatigue
• Powerful antioxidant
• Helps to improve collagen for healthier skin
Nature's True Health Liposomal Vitamin C is manufactured under the best health standard in a cGMP facility in the United States. They do not contain GMO, Soy, heat, low-quality ingredients or any other toxic solvent.

AUGUSTA, Georgia - A ball rolled down a slope on the 16th green of Augusta National during the final round of the Masters as one did 14 years ago, the golfer who hit it urging it forward like a kid hurrying up Christmas morning. Tiger Woods' ball didn't drop into the cup Sunday as it did back in 2005 – a highlight moment in a lifetime packed with them – but he didn't need such an amazing stroke this time.

The miracle was in the man himself – where he had been and what he was accomplishing.

Just two years after he thought his career could be over because of a serious back condition, and with a new wave of golfers giving him their best shot during a wild, tightly contested final round of the 83rd Masters Tournament, Woods proved he still has what it takes to win when it matters most.

"There were so many different scenarios that could have transpired on that back nine," said Woods who won a major for the first time when trailing through 54 holes. "There were so many guys that had a chance to win. Leader board was absolutely packed and everyone was playing well. You couldn't have had more drama than we all had out there. Now you know why I'm balding. This stuff is hard."

At the conclusion of a closing 18 holes played hours earlier than usual to beat expected thunderstorms, there was a weather warning on the leader boards, but the Tiger watch was over.

Woods was back in a major way, winning his first Masters in 14 years and fifth over all, surpassing Gary Player for the largest gap between titles. It was his first major championship since the 2008 U.S. Open.

With a closing 70, Woods finished at 13-under 275, one stroke ahead of Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka. Four others – Jason Day, Webb Simpson, Francesco Molinari and Tony Finau – finished at 277.

After he tapped in for a bogey on No. 18, Woods yelled, raised his arms skyward and walked triumphantly off the green, completing a major victory many thought might not ever occur. Twenty-two years after receiving a bear hug from his father, Earl, Tiger embraced his children, son Charlie, 10, and daughter Sam, 11, his mother Tida, and his girlfriend Erica Herman.

Woods' children had been at Carnoustie in Scotland last summer when Woods contended on the final day, taking the lead on the 10th hole but eventually falling back and losing to Molinari.

"To have both Sam and Charlie here, they were there at the British Open last year when I had the lead on that back nine, and I made a few mistakes, cost myself a chance to win the Open title," Woods said. "I wasn't going to let that happen to them twice. And so for them to see what it's like to have their dad win a major championship, I hope that's something they will never forget."

Woods had come back from spinal fusion surgery to win the Tour Championship last fall, but succeeding at a major was the ultimate measuring stick for his comeback. Contending at the Open and the PGA Championship was crucial in his belief that he could break through.

At 43 years old, Woods is the second-oldest to win the Masters, after Jack Nicklaus, who was 46 when he captured his sixth Green Jacket in 1986. On a cloudy day that contrasted with the bright blue skies under which Nicklaus won 33 years ago, there were echoes of that dramatic occasion when the Golden Bear turned back a leader board stacked with talent younger than he was.

Nicklaus, too, broke an 11-year drought at Augusta National. In winning his 15th career major title, and pulling to within three of Nicklaus' record total, Woods defeated a crowded cast. As the final threesome of Woods, Molinari and Finau stood in the 15th fairway, there was a five-way tie for the lead among Woods, Molinari, Koepka, Johnson and Schauffele.

"That was probably the coolest back nine in a major championship I've ever been a part of," said Koepka, who was going for his fourth major victory in his last seven starts. "I don't know how it looked on TV, but it was amazing to be a part of. It was quite fun. And to see Tiger – what he did down the stretch was impressive. We already knew he was back, but I think he put the exclamation point on it."

What Woods did down the stretch was minimize his mistakes in the crafty manner of a veteran who had been down this road before. That patience – Woods' deficit to Molinari had gone from two at the start the day to three after a bogey on No. 5, his nemesis all week – paid dividends and, combined with crucial errors by others, made the difference.

Molinari, Koepka, Finau and Ian Poulter each found Rae's Creek at the par-3 12th hole, making costly double bogeys. "The mistake Francesco made there let a lot of guys back into the Tournament, myself included," Woods said.

Woods played conservatively, hitting a 9-iron to the left-center of the green and made a handy par. Two-putt birdies at Nos. 13 and 15 put Woods one shot ahead as he came to the 16th. Molinari, bidding to become the first golfer from Italy to win the Masters, found the water with his third shot at 15 and double bogeyed.

Woods' 8-iron at the par-3 16th hit in the right-center of the green, but rolled down the ridge to four feet from the cup – almost the very spot where Nicklaus' tee shot came to rest in 1986 to continue his historic Sunday charge. Woods' short birdie putt gave him a two-stroke cushion going to No. 17.

"I think he doubted he'd ever play golf again," said Woods' caddie, Joe LaCava. "Once he got back and feeling good last year, contending in two majors, I always thought he felt it was a possibility. Last year was like, let's play some golf, get some reps in; let's build up and win a tournament. And this year it was, let's play a little less. I've already won that tournament now; I know I can do that. The next step is winning a major."

Woods, dressed in his trademark Sunday red and black, emphatically showed he was up to the task, achieving something not only for himself but his kids.

"I think the kids are starting to understand how much this game means to me, and some of the things I've done in the game," Woods said. "Prior to coming back, they only knew that golf caused me a lot of pain. If I tried to swing a club I would be on the ground and I struggled for years, and that's basically all they remember. Luckily I've had the procedure where that's no longer the case and I can do this again. We're creating new memories for them, and it's just very special."

A man who had difficulty walking not that long ago now was walking on air, having gifted something to the game, too, a present long in the making.

501st or Shocktrooper as a chase figure for sure ...
I was browsing at BBTS and saw that the preorder for these had already sold out, which of course made me panic even though I wasn't even sure I wanted them. So I checked ebay and found a "buy it now" for $48 (and $12) shipping. Plus I used the live.com 20% discount deal (google it if you want to know more) to make the final price $38.40 + shipping. I couldn't resist at that price.Those images posted earlier look quite nice, I must say.
Mine have already shipped. That was quicker than I expected.

Today, Taylor is a Make-A-Wish ambassador. She tells others how her wish experience helped her get better.
Taylor remembers everything about her triumph over Wilm's tumor. But she never dwells on the chemotherapy and kidney surgery.
Instead, Taylor thinks of her Make-A-Wish® experience. The day volunteers unveiled her playhouse helped put her spirits over the top as her treatments were in the final stretch. That's when she knew … she was going to win.
Taylor's first stroll through the playhouse transported her from all her medical obstacles. She reveled in the attention – the TV news crew that filmed her every smile, the ecstatic friends, the kind-hearted neighbors. Taylor found that her volunteer wish granters heard everything she said … and created a playhouse with every detail that mattered: a chandelier, rugs, beanbags, even a fireplace.
Taylor's mom remembers the sense of well-being that overcame her entire family.
Today, Taylor is a Make-A-Wish ambassador. She tells people in her community how her Make-A-Wish experience helped her get better. Her words encourage everyone to join Make-A-Wish in helping kids like her renew their courage and become stronger than ever.
In her new pink hardhat, Taylor helped crews build the playhouse of her dreams.
Taylor's wish granters got every detail just right. She enjoyed a cozy tea party by the fireplace.
It gave us a sense that everything was going to be OK.

Nursery and Kids Rooms Photos and Design Inspiration
81 Nurseries and Kids' Rooms You Have to See to Believe
Photo 45 of 81
A Serene But Playful Little Boy's Room
Most moms would agree that the goal of designing a nursery or child's room is to create a space that reflects the aesthetic of the rest of the house while also serving as a special enclave for the little one who lives there. The room that Nancy Twomey of Alexandria, VA-based Finnian's Moon Interiors designed for the 2012 DC Design House is pure magic. The space is supremely serene, but it's also filled with playful touches that would make a little boy feel right at home. From the red wagon-turned-bookshelf to the delicate giraffe hooks, we're captivated by every detail. Click through, and be inspired!

As the presidential election reaches its apex in intensity, so have arguments from the right that polls and economic statistics -- the numbers used to explain the 2012 campaign -- are not to be trusted.
The theory that many polls are under-sampling Republicans (and thus overstating the support for Obama) has become widespread on the right, as many supporters of Mitt Romney asserted this week during rallies before the first presidential debate.
A recent suggestion by Jack Welch that the most-recent U.S. jobs report is a bit suspicious has ignited a media firestorm. NBC's Mike Viqueira reports.
"I'd prefer him to be higher in the polls, but I think a lot of conservatives just aren't being polled," said Cathy Barnes, a Romney voter from southeast Denver who attended the Republican nominee's rally last Monday near Aurora.
"I don't believe what they polls are saying, they've clearly been Democratic-skewed," said Daniel Zustek, a health care worker from Denver, at the same rally. "If you look at the numbers – such as Ohio -- they've lost a lot of Democratic voter registration in the city of Cleveland, which isn't stuff that's really examined when they're running these polls."
"Push comes to shove, I think he's ahead. I don't think the Democratic turnout will be as high as it was four years ago," Zustek added of Romney's chances.
Recommended: On day of data, Romney turns personal
"I think the media likes to slant what the Romneys do. Just because the media says something doesn't make it fact," said Rosabel Herrington of Romney's disadvantage among women voters in most polls before a "Women for Mitt" event Tuesday in Littleton.
The argument is based largely on the notion that pollsters are using a turnout model that most closely resembles the 2008 election, when turnout was inordinately high and Democrats outpaced Republicans. Conservatives argue that these samples should more closely match the 2004 election (when Republican turnout was inordinately high), or, if nothing else, include more Republicans.
Bolstering that argument have been surveys issued by pollster Scott Rasmussen, which have typically shown a tighter matchup between Romney and Obama both nationally and in many swing states. (One reason for this is because the automated polls used by Rasmussen and other outfits -- which NBC News don't report on -- are barred by law from contacting voters whose sole phone line is cellular. These voters are typically understood to skew younger and toward minorities, and thus, more Democratic.)
Former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens (R) echoed this sentiment when firing up a crowd at a Romney rally Monday in Denver.
"As you know, this race is close, and it's going to get closer. Sunday's Rasmussen poll showed that 43 percent of voters say they are certain to vote for Mitt Romney, and 42 percent are certain to vote for President Obama," he said. "But as you know, the undecideds typically swing towards the challenger. And in Colorado, poll after poll has showed that our state is virtually tied."
Obama led Romney, 50 to 45 percent, in the most recent NBC News-Wall Street Journal-Marist poll of Colorado's likely voters. And in the running tally of polls conducted by the website Real Clear Politics, which includes automated polls with varying party affiliations, Romney leads only in one: Rasmussen's.
Recommended: Obama accuses Romney of shifting positions
And the Republican presidential nominee himself has invoked Rasmussen's polls to argue the race is much tighter than other polls had suggested.
"Actually the national polls, Rasmussen and Gallup have it a tied race," Romney told NBC's Ron Allen in an interview two weeks ago.
Since then, public opinion polls have shown the national tightening to a degree, and the impact of Romney's strong debate performance last Wednesday isn't fully reflected yet in polls.
The mounting criticism of polls mirrors what some Sen. John Kerry's supporters said about the Democrats' polling performance versus George W. Bush in 2004. But it also serves an unintended benefit for Romney in that Republicans might feel more engaged and active in backing the Republican ticket if they don't perceive it to be trailing Obama so badly.
A similar phenomenon emerged on Friday when conservatives expressed open skepticism of new monthly employment figures issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which showed that the economy added 114,000 new jobs in September, and that the unemployment rate had dropped from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent last month.
Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric (the former parent company of NBC News), set off a firestorm by insinuating that the administration manipulated the jobs numbers because they were so incredible.
"I have no evidence to prove that. I just raised the question," Welch explained later in the day on MSNBC.
Welch also declined to retract his assertion: "I don't want to take back one word in that tweet. … It just defies the imagination to have a surge larger than any other surge since 1983 a month before the election."
Other political figures weighed in to support Welch's assertion. Rush Limbaugh expressed skepticism toward the numbers on his show, and one member of Congress encouraged doubt of the official job statistics, too.
"I agree with former GE CEO Jack Welch, Chicago style politics is at work here. Somehow by manipulation of data we are all of a sudden below 8 percent unemployment, a month from the Presidential election," Florida Rep. Allen West (R) wrote on his Facebook page. "Trust the Obama administration? Sure, and the spontaneous reaction to a video caused the death of our Ambassador ... and pigs fly."
But that notion was startling to several other conservatives. Tony Fratto, a former spokesman in President George W. Bush's White House, called the allegation of labor data manipulation "dumb conspiracy theories" on his Twitter page.
And Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a Republican economist who formerly served as director of the Congressional Budget Office, strongly disputed the idea that Obama would manipulate September's report.
"These numbers put together by the BLS or BEA, they're all done by career civil servants who are experts in the area with complete integrity," he said. "If someone tried to do that -- if I, during my time in the Bush administration, had gone to the BLS and said, 'Juice these numbers,' they would have called the Washington Post so fast. That's just not acceptable; it's not how the process works."
Besides, Holtz-Eakin argued, Republicans have plenty to criticize in this jobs report. He argued that the drop in the jobless rate could be an aberration based on an unusually high number of households to report employment in this month's survey.
"We still have a labor force participation rate that's down at 1981 levels, and we still have an unemployment rate that's not a cause for celebration either," he said.

VICTORIA - After a relatively light spring session of the legislature, the B.C. Liberals have lately been loading up the agenda with more measures than can be properly scrutinized before the scheduled May 31 adjournment.
Seven bills already this week. Eight last. Almost 20 since the house resumed, following the Easter break, in mid-April.
The latest addition to the burgeoning legislative agenda, tabled Tuesday, at least had the virtue of being terse.
Occupying a single page, it gave the cabinet the power, following public consultations, to establish a day in February as Family Day, the crowd-pleasing public holiday promised by Premier Christy Clark.
But otherwise, the legislative docket is both hefty and belated.
Included in the almost 600 pages of legislation that have yet to receive detailed examination at the committee stage of debate is a 95-page reworking of provincial pension legislation, a 65-page measure dealing with animal health, 50 pages on civil tribunals, 70 dealing with the legal profession.
The Liberals are taking another stab at toughening enforcement of drunk driving. They want to once again impose a gag on advertising in the run-up to elections.
One bill shows them having legislative second thoughts about an earlier botched effort to contain the price of generic drugs. Another encapsulates the scramble to crack down on fare evasion on public transit, following the discovery that the current ticketing regime was not being enforced, nor was it enforceable.
Not surprisingly, the glut of debatable bills has the Opposition New Democrats complaining about "legislation by exhaustion" and warning that the government intends to invoke closure to get everything through the house by the scheduled adjournment, 6 p.m. on May 31.
Asked about the holdup, government house leader Rich Coleman said a sizable portion of the government's drafting resources were being consumed by a single piece of legislation.
He meant the still-to-be-tabled bill clearing the way for the province to abandon the harmonized sales tax and return to the provincial sales tax next April 1.
"You only have so much capacity," he told reporters, "so we do the capacity as best we can."
A four-member legislative drafting team has been working after hours and on weekends to finalize the more than 100 pages of text, preferably by next week, according to Coleman.
As to why it is taking so long to pull together legislation to restore the tax regime that existed before harmonization day, July 1, 2010, Coleman cited the complexities of consolidating and modernizing clauses, exemptions, interpretations and collection measures that had proliferated over the previous 60 years of the PST.
The degree of complexity ought to militate against ramrodding the final product through the house in the final days of the session. Wiser, surely, to table the bill, digest any feedback from business, consumers and the public, and then make needed changes before enacting it.
But that does not appear to be the Liberal intention. Both Coleman and the premier emphasized that the legislation needs to get through the house in short order to complete the transition back to the PST by next year.
"There will be time to debate it," said the premier, "and if there are errors in the drafting process, that will become part of the substance of the debate."
Passage ought to be expedited, according to the Liberals, because the bill, in essence, is the legislative embodiment of last year's referendum vote to return to the PST.
So when the Liberals are asked to justify the delay in getting the bill into the house, they cite the staggering complexities. When asked why the New Democrats should give it the quick once-over, they argue it is simple and clear-cut.
"You'll forgive me if I don't take their word for it," returned Opposition house leader John Horgan when asked about the supposed straightforwardness of the yet-to-be-seen legislation.
Coleman, for his part, indicated a willingness to tinker with the legislative calendar in order to provide more time for debate. The premier took a harder line. "There's a set end to the legislature session and we're sticking to that," she told reporters. "We're not going to be extending the session."
But one readily available option would see the Liberals put off passage of some measures until the house is recalled, probably before the fall, to settle the festering labour dispute with public school teachers.
Mediator Charles Jago is scheduled to report by June 30 and nobody expects he will deliver the settlement that would preclude further job action in the fall.
Summer sessions used to be routine before the Liberals brought in the legislative calendar with its end-of-May adjournment. They usually ended by agreement between government and Opposition as MLAs tired of the legislative grind and — in the words of former NDP house leader Mark Rose — chose to "storm the barbecues" instead.
A session starting in, say, mid-July, to deal with the teachers could also provide the Liberals with an opportunity to conclude the rest of the spring's business without resort to the procedural guillotine.

Comparing voip vs pbx is an interesting question for many businesses. As data and voice technologies converged over a decade ago the voip vs pbx debate swung backwards and forwards.
PABX traditionally uses TDM switching while VoIP wraps up the speech in voice-packets which compete with data-packets over the LAN. As v-packets are prioritised over d-packets by the QOS feature in layer 3 switches and routers verbal communications are feasible.
So voip vs pbx – which to choose? You need to consider features and facilities of both, the cost of both basic central processing and the investment in terminals. It is still true that pbx has the upper hand where telephony functionality is concerned. The pbx ksu will be more expensive as the size grows and will consume more rack space (probably). Your local area network infrastructure may have to be upgraded to voip standards. Most IP phones have a higher RRP than their pbx counterparts.
It is a balancing act to determine the winner of voip vs pbx.
However the OfficeServ 7000 series telecoms platforms satisfies both camps. voip_vs_pbx.pdf

On the Rhine Castles Trail, we we follow the entire World Heritage Valley and hike from Bingen to Remagen on the left bank of the Rhine. This path takes us on a journey back in time in our hiking boots, uncovering legends and myths along the way.
The Rhine Castles Trail is the little brother of the Rheinsteig, a trail which unfolds on the other side of the river. You can even make up your own route and cross the Rhine on a vessel. On the Rhine Castles Trail, we start at the Mouse Tower in Bingen in theUpper Middle Rhine Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site, extending all the way to Koblenz. We naturally see a lot of castles on our route – around 20 in total, and also visit some of the castle grounds.
Wine is another major theme along the Rhine Castles Trail. We stroll through the vines of the three biggest German wine-growing regions: the Middle Rhine, Ahr and Moselle. We are treated to spectacular vistas of Father Rhine on narrow alpine trails and modest vineyard paths. We see the flowing water of the Andernach Geyser and pass the remains of the famous bridge at Remagen. Our hike comes to an end 200 kilometres later, at Roland's Arch, to the south of Bonn. Simply legendary!
Manuel Andrack, editor, presenter, author and hiking blogger:
"My recommendation is the stage between Oberwesel and St. Goar. We have a fantastic view of the Lorelei rocks. On a good day, we can see the beautiful statue of Lore – the maiden featured in the myth about the rocks – brushing her hair."

Well, I never test drove the pickup before buying. The wife did that. Did get a general look at it before buying. Have driven and it is ok. But got my first time crawling around underneath today. Now I know why GM went bankrupt. I have to admit, I wish I had not bought another GM product. I was GM free for over a decade. I already think this pickup is a POS and we haven't even got 1000 miles on it. Oh well, stuck with it now. Drives nice. Is comfortable. But that is just about all the good I can say about it. Everything else leaves much to be desired. A city pickup for the wifey and kids, it would pass for that. For something on the farm, a total joke.

The photo above is of Mothership Earth at Epcot. Quite a great subject for photography. Anything spherical using a fisheye lens can lead to a fun shot. Tough to deny using this lens in such a situation. I was about 1 foot away from the middle beam ahead and pointed my tripod upwards to get this effect. Kinda looks like a transformer or maybe something from Logan's Run (I may be dating myself). I think you can photograph this big golf ball for hours. Yeah, you can take the generic shots, but the fun is to grab something different. Thanks fisheye lens!

If you missed any of the recent trailers for Sam Mendes' James Bond flick, Skyfall, or the excellent theme song by Adele, you're in luck because now you can enjoy them both together! The theme song is great on its own and I'm sure that it'll fit nicely with the opening credits of Skyfall, but it feels a bit forced in this patched together trailer.
Skyfall stars Daniel Craig, Ben Whishaw, Bérénice Marlohe, Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Helen McCroy, Albert Finney, Ralph Fiennes and Javier Bardem. It opens stateside November 9th. Hit the jump to see the new trailer.
Check out the new trailer for Skyfall below:
Here's the official synopsis for the new James Bond film, Skyfall:
Daniel Craig is back as James Bond 007 in Skyfall, the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time. In Skyfall, Bond's loyalty to M (Judi Dench) is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost. The film also stars Berenice Marlohe, Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Helen McCroy, Albert Finney, and Ralph Fiennes.
