Coming soon to a Mac and PC near you: an updated version of GMAT Prep (available on April 2nd, 2012). Like good investigative journalists (or paparazzi) we got our hands on some of the goods as soon as possible. The goods in question? Screenshots of the latest version of GMATPrep. Macrumors on the latest iPhone/iPad/Macbook Air this is not, but people are pretty excited about this development, so might as well not wait!
Let's take a look and point out some of the interesting new features…
Home Screen
It looks a lot more welcoming, not to mention informative about what each section contains. Clearly the presence of the new "Improve" section speaks to GMAC's increased commitment to broadening what they offer with this software. I, for one, am pleased with the aesthetics, though the blue-on-blue is sometimes difficult to read.
The practice home now includes practice for specific question types and the two CAT practice exams. What's interesting here is the running tabulation in the upper right corner: the total number of available questions and the total number you've completed. It also appears that you'll be able build your own practice set of questions to include the type and number questions you want (lower left of image). On the whole, the functionality improvements that GMAC was touting earlier in the year appear to have come to pass in a significant way.
Exam Review
The exam review screen is part of the Practice section, and is also a completely revamped and expanded component of GMATPrep. With these additions GMAC has finally begun to provide meaningful, practice-based timing data for students to use to hone their pacing. We love the fact that this info has been included in the latest version, and can only hope that they'll provide question-by-question timing in the "Exam results" tab, and not just averages as they do here on the "Time Management" tab. Question-by-question timing data is important because comprehensive timing assessments are only part of what's needed to help hone and refine pacing plans. Test-takers also need to be able to identify exactly which questions they've mismanaged from a timing standpoint, as that will allow them to investigate why they got bogged down on a particular question, and, more importantly, how they can remedy that issue through future practice.
One other important note about this page (in fact, it's our only real significant criticism of what we've seen so far): do not let the predetermined timing cut-offs for average time per question (as indicated by the the dotted lines in the graphs under the "Time taken per question…" portion) dictate how you work questions and manage your pacing. GMAC, in our estimation, is reenforcing an arbitrary "ideal average" based on somewhat faulty logic. The faulty logic here is that everyone is shooting for the same score, tests the same way, and must tackle the test in a specific fashion to get a specific score. None of these things are true. So while they aren't telling you that you "must" try to get your average time below the dotted lines (2:01/question for Quant and 1:49/question for Verbal), it sure does seem like that's what they're saying. More than anything, you need to manage your test in the best way for you get the score you need. That also means pacing yourself in the manner that best suits your abilities and how you test.
We'll be back with more as information becomes available. Until then…

"Running" to the bathroom: Advice for the LADIES (only*)…Beyond Kegels *(seriously guys, leave now).
Category Archives: kids
Faster, Fitter and Freakier at Forty
I've been getting quite a few side-long glances lately, and I don't mean from strangers. No, its mostly been my long-time friends and a few relatives that have been looking at me curiously. They aren't quiet sure what to make of it, this new me, the old me but different.
My friends that expect me to drop everything and rearrange my schedule to go for a sixty mile bike ride or the friends that expect me to show up at the local race are wondering what has happened to their cardio junkie that could never get enough miles and their overly competitive buddy that could never acquire enough trophies to convince herself she could actually run.
The other homeschool moms are asking why I'm all dressed-up. What's the occasion? My sister quit waiting for a fight, because I stopped starting one. My kids even stopped being afraid to ask a question, because I stopped jumping down their throat with the answers. My husband still does a double blink expecting his old wife to appear after he clears his eyes. But she hasn't returned (thank the gods). And the new me is still here. Get used to her, because I've fallen in love with her (and so has my hubby).
Don't worry world, I'm just as vain as ever, I just care less about what the world thinks and more about what I think about myself. If I fall asleep knowing my husband loves the hell out of me, my kids think I'm a superstar and I like myself, I'm gonna sleep well.
You may wonder what the hell all this has to do with running, biking and all the other bullshit I like to blog about, well here it is. I'm fitter, faster and freakier than ever at forty. That's right, I am faster and fitter and freakier than ever. If you care to be the same at forty, I will attempt to explain what I've done without elaborating on how the transformation came about. Just think of it as a transformation that took place because I was exhausted of being my old self.
I may no longer care if the community knows I'm a fast runner, but I still care that I can run fast. A matter of fact, I am running faster now, just shy of age forty, than I have ever run in my life. My latest training run pace was the same pace as my fasted 5K ever. I'm proud of that (and yeah, I did just kind of brag about it). If you are wondering how it's possible here it is in a nutshell: I run less, do more core and weights, and spend less time working out.
I used to average about 35-40 miles running, squeeze in about 100+ miles on my bike and a 3000 yards swim each week.
Now I run about 17 miles a week, do core/cardio 30 minutes five days a week and swim about 3000 yards one day a week. I work out no more than one hour a day and take off Sundays.
Here's the thing, I used to run distance because I loved it. I would run away from my problems, contemplate life, indulge in my alone time. I would return refreshed but tired, too tired in fact, to have the energy to keep up with my two growing children. I would drag myself through the remaining portion of the day, dreading chores and schoolwork. By the time my hubby got home I was not only too tired to converse with him, I was resentful that he got to come home and relax while my day was still going. I was a resentful bitch and absolutely no fun to be around.
So now I workout for different reasons. I'm no longer escaping my life, quite the opposite really, I hate to leave for even 30 minutes because I don't want to be away from my family that long. No, now I work out for my physical health and to look the way I desire to look. That last statement seems really vain, I know, but it is true. My personal happiness is directly related to how I look (so shoot me) and providing I have any control over that, I will work out to meet those needs. My husband appreciates it too, so why not?
Do I worry about gaining weight? No. I figured out a long time ago that weight has nothing to do with how much you work out. I was my heaviest when I was training for my marathon. Weight has everything to do with what you eat (not how much you eat). A calorie is NOT a calorie. If you want to hear more about this, you may have to wait for another blog.
Here's another tip for those of you pushing forty, especially the cardio junkies: you need more weight training and less endurance training to maintain your lovely figure, especially you ladies. I promise to write a blog about my take on looking hot into your forties next.
So to wrap it up, here is my new me and the philosophy I live by:
Go short and fast (running), do more core and weight training to be leaner not meaner, ride for pleasure not distance, never use a workout as a reason to eat, carb-up, or replace calories.
Always look your best. I don't care if you are going to the grocery store or to the homeschool co-op, look and be the best you can be. Why the hell would you want anything less for yourself?
If you are too damned tired from your workout to listen and keep up with your kids, then you are being a selfish bitch. Cut it out. They will grow up to hate you.
If you don't have the desire to jump into your husbands arms and kiss him all over (literally) when he walks through that door, then it's time to stop and evaluate yourself. Nuf said.
And for those of you who don't think I was funny enough in this blog, please check out my new favorite website: www.chocolateanus.com. All my runclub friends are getting one of these this year:)
and please, if you like what I have to say, can you please share my blog with your friends?

My lovely neighbour gave me a bag full of plantain today; fresh and green. I racked my brain for ways to use it. I thought of the spiced plantain mash I had at 'mama's roadside kitchen' in st.Lucia or the indian curry my mum would make when we were kids, using her experience of living in Uganda as a child. I asked my friends on twitter and they suggested cake. I didn't fancy any of these lovely recipes today, for some reason.
In the morning, by boy and I went shopping for women's undergarments. My normally chatty and excitable child completely freaked out and sobbed loudly in the fitting cubicle and insisted, 'put a jumper and jacket on mumma, put the clothes on mumma'. He's not yet two but here we go. So I took him for a walk and stopped at the dried fruits and nuts section which looked festive but blue. Why blue? Anyway, that's when it struck me.
But I did have a brief period of confusion; which is a more festive nut…the cashew or almond? Cashews are more expensive. Does that make it more special? I do recall my mum sending food parcels of special stuff for my grandmother in India when friends or relatives visited. Mum sent cashews, always. She also sent saffron and chocolate. Now I think back, it's such a lovely thing to do.
But then, almonds are pretty special also. When we were in st.Lucia we stayed between the majestic pitons, hidden away. We were staying at a resort where the beach sat in a calm little cove and one of the paths along the beach was layer in almond shells. I loves cracking them open to find smooth almonds. It's lovely that nature can create such a perfect little nut.
I'm actually rather excited about this simple yet addictive recipe. It's really good. This tropical looking mix is crunchy, sweet, aromatic and there's a lovely hint of chilli right at the end. It's delightful. I've used agave nectar to sweeten the mix so, healthier than loads of sugar. You have to try it.
Ingredients for two gift containers
One large green plantain
4 tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp chilli flakes
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3-4 tbsp desiccated coconut
A generous handful of dried cranberries
200g cashew nuts
Oil for frying plantain chips
1 . Heat the oil in a deep pan and in the meantime, take the green skin off the plantain and cut the plantain into 1 cm thick circles with a knife of mandolin.
2. Fry the chips until they are crisp and deepened in colour. You will feel that they are tougher and crisp when you move them with a slotted spoon.
3. Remove the chips onto a kitchen paper and leave them to cool.
4. In a non stick pan, toast the cashew nuts until they are lightly golden before adding the cinnamon and the plantain chips. Mix well.
5. Stir in the chilli flakes, mix again. Then add the agave nectar and the desiccated coconut. Thoroughly mix it all together to make sure the spices and coconut are evenly distributed.
6. Toss in the dried cranberries and mix again.
Allow the mixture to cool completely before packaging it.

There are four categories of constants in C:
The following sections describe these constants.
The value of any constant must be within the range of representable
values for the specified type. Regardless of its type, a constant is a
literal or symbolic value that does not change. A constant is also an
rvalue, as defined in Section 2.14.
1.8.1 Integer Constants
Integer constants are used to represent whole numbers. An integer constant can be specified in decimal, octal, or hexadecimal radix, and can optionally include a prefix that specifies its radix and a suffix that specifies its type. An integer constant cannot include a period or an exponent part.
Follow these rules when specifying an integer constant:
Without explicit specification, the type of an integer constant defaults to the smallest possible type that can hold the constant's value, unless the value is suffixed with an L , l , LL ( (ALPHA ONLY)), ll ( (ALPHA ONLY)), U , or u .
The C99 standard introduced the type long long int (both signed and unsigned) as a standard integer type whose range of values requires at least 64 bits to represent. Although Compaq C on Alpha systems implemented the type long long as a language extension many releases ago, the compiler followed the C89 rules for determining the type of an integer constant. Those rules specified that an unsuffixed decimal integer with a value too large to be represented in a signed long would be given the type unsigned long if it would fit, and only be given a long long type if the value was too large for unsigned long . (Note: The long long data type is supported on Alpha systems only.)
In standardizing the long long type, the C99 standard regularized these rules and made them extensible to longer types. In particular, unsuffixed decimal integer constants are given the smallest signed integer type that will hold the value (the minimum type is still int ). If the value is larger than the largest value of signed long long , it is given the next larger implementation-defined signed integer type (if there is one). Otherwise C99 states that the behavior is undefined. Compaq C, however, uses the type unsigned long long next. The only portable way to specify a decimal constant that will be given an unsigned type is to use a suffix containing u or U .
Compaq C continues to use the C89 rules in VAXC, COMMON, and strict ANSI89 modes (including MIA), but uses the new C99 rules in all other modes. Table 1-5 shows the rules for determining the type of an integer constant. The type of an integer constant is the first of the corresponding list in which its value can be represented.
|Decimal Constant
|Octal or Hexadecimal Constant
|long int
|unsigned int
|long long int 1
|long int
|unsigned long long int
|unsigned long int
|long long int
|unsigned long long int
|u or U
|unsigned int
|unsigned int
|unsigned long int
|unsigned long int
|unsigned long long int
|unsigned long long int
|l or L
|long int
|long int
|long long int 1
|unsigned long int
|unsigned long long int
|long long int
|unsigned long long int
|Both u or U
|unsigned long int
|unsigned long int
|and l or L
|unsigned long long int
|unsigned long long int
|ll or LL
|long long int
|long long int
|unsigned long long int
|unsigned long long int
|Both u or U
|unsigned long long int
|unsigned long long int
|and ll or LL
For example, the constant 59 is assigned the int data type; the constant 59L is assigned the long data type; the constant 59UL is assigned the unsigned long int data type.
Integer constant values are always nonnegative; a preceding minus sign is interpreted as a unary operator, not as part of the constant. If the value exceeds the largest representable integer value (causing an overflow), the compiler issues a warning message and uses the greatest representable value for the integer type. Unsuffixed integer constants can have different types, because without explicit specification the constant is represented in the smallest possible integer type.
The new C99 rules for determining the type of an integer constant could lead to some constants in your program being interpreted as having a signed type when previous compiler versions gave them an unsigned type. This could affect your program's behavior in subtle ways. The new message intconstsigned can be enabled to report constants in your source code that are being treated differently under the C99 rules than they were in previous releases. This message is also part of the new message group NEWC99. If your program relied on unsigned treatment, the simple fix is to add the correct suffix including a "U" or "u" to force the constant to have the expected type. Such a change would be backward compatible and portable.
A floating-point constant has a significand part that may be followed by an exponential part and an optional suffix that specifies its type (for example, 32.45E2 ).
The components of the significand part may include a digit sequence representing the whole number part, followed by a period (.), followed by a digit sequence representing the fractional part.
The components of the exponent part are an e, E, p, or P followed by an exponent consisting of an optionally signed digit sequence.
Either the whole-number part or the fraction part of the significand
must be present. For decimal floating constants, either the period or
the exponent part must be present.
184.108.40.206 Semantics
The significand part of a floating-point constant is interpreted as a decimal or hexadecimal rational number; the digit sequence in the exponent is interpreted as a decimal integer. For decimal floating constants, the exponent indicates the power of 10 by which the significand part is to be scaled. For hexadecimal floating constants, the exponent indicates the power of 2 by which the significand part is to be scaled. For decimal floating constants, and for hexadecimal floating constants when FLT_RADIX is not a power of 2, the result is either the nearest representable value, or the larger or smaller representable value immediately adjacent to the nearest representable value, chosen in an platform-dependent manner. For hexadecimal floating constants when FLT_RADIX is a power of 2, the result is correctly rounded.
Floating-point constant values must be nonnegative; a preceding minus
sign is interpreted as a unary operator, not as part of the constant.
126.96.36.199 Floating-Point Type
Floating-point constants have the following type:
A word about hexadecimal floating-point constants... The C99 standard introduced a hexadecimal form of floating-point constants. This form of constant permits floating-point values to be specified reliably to the last bit of precision. It does not specify a bit pattern for the representation. Instead it is interpreted much like an ordinary decimal floating-point constant except that the significand is written in hexadecimal radix, and the exponent is expressed as a decimal integer indicating the power of two by which to multiply the significand. A "P" instead of an "E" separates the exponent from the significand. Thus, for example, 1/2 can be written as either 0x1P-1 or 0x.1P3.
The C99 standard also adds
specifiers for this form of value, but that support will be in OpenVMS
run-time libraries after OpenVMS Version 7.3.
188.8.131.52 Examples
Table 1-6 shows examples of valid notational options.
|long double
A character constant is any character from the source character set enclosed in apostrophes. Character constants are represented by objects of type int . For example:
char alpha = 'A';
Characters such as the new-line character, single quotation marks, double quotation marks, and backslash can be included in a character constant by using escape sequences as described in Section 184.108.40.206. All valid characters can also be included in a constant by using numeric escape sequences, as described in Section 126.96.36.199.
The value of a character constant containing a single character is the
numeric value of the character in the current character set.
Character constants containing multiple characters within the single
quotation marks have a value determined by the compiler. The value of a
character constant represented by an octal or hexadecimal escape
sequence is the same as the octal or hexadecimal value of the escape
sequence. The value of a wide character constant (discussed in
Section 184.108.40.206) is determined by the
library function.
There is a limit of four characters for any one character constant.
Enclosing more than four characters in single quotation marks (such as
), generates an overflow warning.
Note that the byte ordering of character constants is platform specific.
220.127.116.11 Wide Characters
There is a limit of four characters for any one character constant. Enclosing more than four characters in single quotation marks (such as 'ABCDE' ), generates an overflow warning.
Note that the byte ordering of character constants is platform specific.
C provides for an extended character set through the use of wide characters. Wide characters are characters too large to fit in the char type. The wchar_t type is typically used to represent a character constant in a character set requiring more than 256 possible characters, because 8 bits can represent only 256 different values.
A character constant in the extended character set is written using a preceding L , and is called a wide-character constant. Wide-character constants have an integer type, wchar_t , defined in the <stddef.h> header file. Wide-character constants can be represented with octal or hexadecimal character escape sequences, just like normal character escape sequences, but with the preceding L .
Strings composed of wide characters can also be formed. The compiler allocates storage as if the string were an array of type wchar_t , and appends a wide null character (\0) to the end of the string. The array is just long enough to hold the characters in the string and the wide null character, and is initialized with the specified characters.
The following examples show valid wide-character constants and string literals:
wchar_t wc = L'A'; wchar_t wmc = L'ABCD'; wchar_t *wstring = L"Hello!"; wchar_t *x = L"Wide"; wchar_t z[] = L"wide string";
Compaq C stores wchar_t objects as unsigned long objects (OPENVMS) or unsigned int objects (TRU64 UNIX) in 32 bits of storage. The null character at the end of a wide-character string is 32 bits long.
Some programmers requiring an extended character set have used shift-dependent encoding schemes to represent the non-ASCII characters in the normal char size of 8 bits. This encoding results in multibyte characters. ANSI C supports these encoding schemes, in addition to providing the wide-character type wchar_t .
In accordance with the ANSI standard, Compaq C recognizes multibyte characters in the following contexts:
For proper input and output of the multibyte character encodings, and to prevent conflicts with existing string processing routines, note the following rules governing the use of multibyte characters:
Transforming multibyte characters to wide-character constants and wide
string literals eases the programmer's problems when dealing with
shift-state encoding. There are several C library functions available
for transforming multibyte characters to wide characters and back. See
Chapter 9 for more information.
220.127.116.11 Character Escape Sequences
Characters that cannot be displayed on a standard terminal, or that have special meaning when used in character constants or string literals, can be entered as source characters by entering them as character escape sequences. A backslash (\) begins each character escape sequence. Each of the escape sequences is stored in a single char or wchar_t object. Table 1-7 lists the ANSI-defined escape sequences.
|Escape Sequence
|Alert (Bell)
|Form Feed
|New line
|Carriage Return
|Horizontal Tab
|Vertical Tab
|Single Quote
|Double Quote
|Question Mark
No other character escape sequences are valid. If another sequence is encountered in the source code, the compiler issues a warning and the backslash character is ignored.
An example of a character escape sequence use follows:
printf ("\t\aReady\?\n");
Upon execution, this results in an alert bell and the following prompt:

|Girls Only
|Jennifer's Blog
|By Jennifer Shahade
|March 17, 2007
When I worked for the New York non-profit Chess-In-The-Schools throughout and after college (1998-2005), one of my favorite programs was the Girls' Academy. I found that the all girls' training allowed girls from different schools to bond and form friendships.
Boys and girls, regardless of how talented and skilled they are, go to chess tournaments because they are fun. You're much more likely to see boys huddled over video games and pizza after the round, rather than doing meditative exercises and studying rook endings. At the Susan Polgar Chess Tournament for Girls last summer, the girls had so much fun that one parent complained to anyone who would listen that the girls were not there to play chess, but to dress up, distract the boys and go to the mall. Chess tournaments are supposed to be fun- we should cultivate that aspect of them if we want teenagers to stick with the game, especially the girls.
I always wanted to start a chess academy open to women all over New York. Ironically, it wasn't till I moved to Philly that I got it together.
I got a wonderful response to the call for interest in a girls and women's chess class at the Marshall Chess Club. My first class had 12 strong female players, from all backgrounds and ages.
The age of my students ranged from 8 to 55!
The level of the class was very strong. For an activity, I set up tactical positions to solve. Can you decipher and solve the position on the left above, and the position below?
Talented elementary students Lilia Poteat and Maddie Bender.
The position below was extremely hard and caused my guest speaker, Irina Krush, to go into the tank. This made me worry that it was too difficult....but some of the students were such whizzes that they solved all the other problems rapidly, and soon huddled around the problem:
White to Move and Win
Scroll down for Solutions.
My first all girls' class was on March 11, the weekend before the All Girls' Nationals in Chicago (March 16-18). (I will host another all girls' class on March 25. E-mail me at [email protected] if you'd like more info) As announced in the Chess Life Magazine preview, Irina Krush was to give a simul in the Chicago All Girls' and write the story for Chess Life Online. Unfortunately, Irina's flight (as well as 44 other East Coast participants) was canceled due to the terrible Northeast weather. Luckily, tournament director and Chess Life Online correspondent Betsy Dynako was able to fill in at the last minute, so we will still have updates from Chicago. In fact, Betsy sent us this photo from last night, in which Chicago based GM Dmitry Gurevich stepped in to replace Irina. Dmitry won 27 games and drew three. The three to earn draws were: Karsten McVay and Eve Litvak from New Jersey and Julie Flammang from New York.
Dmitry Gurevich in the Friday night Chicago simul. Photo Betsy Dynako.
Keep your eyes peeled for a full report on Chicago early next week!
A. 1...Qxb3! 2.axb3 a2 and the pawn is unstoppable
B. 1.Qxd7! Rxd7 2.Re8+ Kh7 3. Rc8 with unavoidable mate on h8.
C. (the difficult one!) 1.Ba7! , but the fun doesn't end here. Rxa7 loses to e8=Q and Kxa7 loses to 2.Kd4 Ra4+ 3.Kd5 Ra5+ 4.Kd6 Ra6+ 5.Kd7 . But Black's best try is 1....Ra1! after which White should play 2.Kf4! Rf1+ 3.Bf2!! Rxf2 Ke3 Rf1 Ke2 and White wins.
Position after 3.Bf2!

Jonway Group Funds $18.2 Million to ZAP Jonway to Bring 2012 New Products to Production: ALIAS and JNZ Shuttle – Gas and Electric
SANTA ROSA, Calif., Dec. 19, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZAP Jonway (OTCBB:ZAAP.OB – News), a designer and manufacturer of new energy and electric vehicles (EVs), entered a funding agreement with Jonway Group CO.

BEREA , Ohio -- Shut up and put up. So goes the short, sweet formula for turning Braylon Edwards from a sourpuss into -- maybe -- the Browns' brightest star.
Shut up and put up. So goes the short, sweet formula for turning Braylon Edwards from a sourpuss into -- maybe -- the Browns' brightest star. Veterans are telling the 24-year-old wideout to cool his verbal jets and turn on the talent that made him the third pick of the 2005 draft. "They said that to him last year," Head Coach Romeo Crennel said. "I think he may be listening a little more this year. That happens with maturity." Crennel said the $1 million donation Edwards donated to scholarships for Cleveland school kids was an encouraging sign. Edwards admits getting discouraged by a consensus perception he acted immaturely. "It bothers you, when you know who you really are," he said. "But at the end of the day, you can't control what anybody thinks or feels. All you can do is control what you do, say and think and how you play.
"Taking that into consideration, I guess I've matured from that standpoint, not worrying about what everybody else says, being my own guy."
Coming off surgery to repair a blown ACL, Edwards produced 884 receiving yards in 2006. It wasn't quite like the 886 yards Paul Warfield gave the 1969 Browns, who reached an NFL title game.
Edwards too often talked like a prima donna.
He dropped too many passes.
It wasn't his fault that the first play of the 2006 season, a long touchdown play to him, was erased by a holding penalty.
It was his fault that a ball that went off his hands in the final moments, turning into an interception that sealed a Saints win.This year? "The main thing is, I want to lead by example," Edwards said a few minutes after Sunday's practice. "We have Joe Jurevicius, who has 10 years in the league ... Jamal Lewis, eight years. (Eric) Steinbach, (Ryan) Tucker. We have guys who have done it for a while. They can do all the talking." Edwards held out as a 2005 rookie and was phased in slowly after signing. Late in the year, he got his shot and delivered in two straight home games. He caught six balls for 90 yards in a win over Miami. Against Jacksonville, he was working on a five-catch, 86-yard, two-touchdown day when he blew out a knee surging for a downfield throw. After surgery, he missed spring drills and was nursed through training camp. His comeback went crazy fast -- in Games 2, 3 and 4, he caught a combined 15 passes for 301 yards. From there, his -- and the team's -- season went south. "When I came back, I wasn't 100 percent. Everybody knows that," Edwards said. "I rushed back. But it was a chance I took. It was my own decision." The rule of thumb is that ACL patients fare better in their second year back on the field. "That's pretty much common knowledge. Eighty-five percent vs. 100 percent," Edwards said. "This year I'm starting at 100 percent, possibly even a little bit better." By that, he meant his conditioning has been so intense that he could be in better shape than he was before he hurt his knee in '05. Edwards grew up as an age-group track star, coached in football and track by his father, Stan. He is very tuned into the science of running. "I believe I have some movement I wasn't able to do last year," he said. "My stride length has increased. I believe I'll be a better player than I was last year." The Browns can live with that kind of talk. Happy Relocation Seth McKinney is in his sixth NFL season but his first with the Browns. The former Round 3 pick -- he was the top choice of the draft-depleted Dolphins in 2002 -- could be a key man. He is running No. 1 at right guard, the most unsettled position on a line thought to be vastly improved. The Buffalo, Texas, native says he is pleased with his progress from a neck injury that cost him the 2005 season in Miami. He is just as pleased with his new environment. A writer asked McKinney in passing how he liked playing for Nick Saban in Miami. After laughing spontaneously, McKinney said, "I like Coach Saban. I've got nothing bad to say about him. But I like this atmosphere here better. I'll tell you that much. It's more professional." Extra Points - After one defensive lapse Sunday, Romeo Crennel got in Kamerion Wimbley's face to make a point. The exchange with the budding star reinforced Crennel's reputation for coddling no one. - Travis Wilson's bid to become the No. 3 receiver wasn't helped when he got wide open on a deep route down the right sideline but dropped a well-thrown pass from Charlie Frye. - Joe Jurevicius has a bit of a short fuse. He blew up at himself after failing to make a tough catch Sunday. He picked up the bouncing ball and flailed at it with his foot. It flew backward over his head. - Offensive Coordinator Rob Chudzinski is among coaches who have turned this into a more vocal camp than last year's. While the offense was isolated in a drill prior to Sunday's final 11-on-11 session, Chudzinski yelled, "Let's move! We had a great last period. Now we've gotta come back." - Peter King of Sports Illustrated, who projects the Browns as the worst team in the NFL, was on the sidelines Monday. Braylon Edwards shrugged off King's opinion, saying the same sorts of summer talk has been made about the Browns since 1999.

MADRID (Reuters) - The longer Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy puts off asking for aid from the euro zone, the greater the risk of further financial turmoil and an even worse recession in Spain, analysts say.
Promises of help from the EU and the European Central Bank have brought Spain's borrowing costs down from unsustainable levels in the past few months. But ironically, if Rajoy is persuaded by the improved market conditions that he no longer needs to ask for help, it could make the situation worse.
A government source told Reuters on Wednesday that the prime minister had not ruled out applying for a rescue, but deficit cutting progress at home and EU movement toward a banking union both give the government breathing room.
"That doesn't mean we won't ask for it, but we don't see it necessary (right at the moment)," the source said. Earlier this month another source familiar with Rajoy's thinking told Reuters that Spain will seek aid, but will not rush into it.
Under the proposed programme, countries such as Spain could seek aid from the European rescue fund, the European Stability Mechanism, which would trigger bond buying by the central bank to stabilize borrowing costs.
The central government is already 95 percent funded for 2012 and will begin pre-funding 2013 in bond sales this year, which seems to give Rajoy breathing room to delay a decision.
But analysts say putting off a request for a precautionary credit line is wasting precious time to fix the euro zone's fourth biggest economy, already shrinking for five quarters.
Uncertainty has frozen business investment, and job destruction is expected to continue next year, worsening an unemployment rate already at 25 percent.
The delay gives time for doubt to surface among investors whether the ECB plan will do more than buy Spain a few months before it needs a full bailout. Madrid could see its sovereign debt downgraded to junk status, lose market access and be pushed into a fully fledged rescue that would come with more drastic conditions than those attached to the credit line now on offer.
Spain has been the main focus of the three-year-old euro zone debt crisis for the last nine months and has already obtained a credit line of up to 100 billion euros for its banks.
After jumping higher than 7 percent in July, the yield on Spain's benchmark 10-year bond has come down in anticipation of ECB action and is currently about 5.6 percent.
Yet the dominant view among investors, analysts and sources involved in talks on the issue is that the market relief is only temporary unless the ECB actually acts.
"We disagree with those who believe a bailout is not needed. We think there is no other way out except a bailout," said Credit Agricole-Cheuvreux in a note last week.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti said this week that in order to restore confidence, the ECB bond-buying needed to be real, not just a plan. The International Monetary Fund expressed a similar view earlier this month.
Diplomatic sources say French President Francois Hollande has also applied pressure on Rajoy to take the bailout.
Senior business executives have been calling publicly on the government to press ahead with the rescue, as have Spain's two biggest lenders, Santander and BBVA. [ID:nL5E8LP2US]
Two senior euro zone officials with direct knowledge of the matter said earlier this month that they and others were preparing the ground for a request to be made in November.
However, Rajoy has given continued signs he will not rush unless market conditions take a significant turn for the worse.
The prime minister has built his career on caution, said a Spanish economist who asked not to be identified: "Rajoy believes time cures everything, that's his signature strategy, his genetic trait."
Rajoy also has domestic resistance to consider. A rescue could come with demands for more budget cuts, opposed by demonstrators who march in the capital several times a week.
Sources familiar with Rajoy's thinking have said he wants to make sure conditions attached to a rescue are minimal, and that the aid would not just create more risks for Spain.
Savings from previous austerity measures, which include public wage cuts and lower spending on schools and hospitals, have so far been eaten up by higher unemployment and social security payments and interest payments on public debt.
Spain's central government must raise 207 billion euros in debt next year, plus a possible additional 20 billion euros to cover finances of indebted regional governments. Analysts say it may be tough to meet those needs without external aid.
The 17 self-governing regions have been shut out of debt markets for months and nine have so far tapped a state liquidity line for around 17 billion euros. More could join the queue.
Even more pressing are the needs of the private sector. Spanish firms dashed into the bond market in September after interest rates dropped.
They now have some breathing space as they've refinanced some debt maturing in 2013. But they remain worried about both ratings and market access if a bailout is delayed.
There are already signs markets are losing patience. The spread between German and Spanish benchmark bonds - showing the perceived risk of investing in Spain - now stands at around 414 basis points, far below the figures of more than 640 basis points reached in July but still stubbornly high.
"The rally has stopped. The Spanish spread has found a floor at a bit more than 400 basis points. This could be gradual but the upward trickle has started," said Jose Carlos Diez, chief economist at Intermoney brokerage.
Although few analysts believe investors will bet against the ECB when it may be only one step away from intervening massively to buy bonds, some of them think Spain runs the risk of losing market access. Debt rating agencies Standard & Poor's and Moody's have both hinted they could downgrade Spain to junk if the rescue doesn't materialize.
Analysts at Citi expect Spain to lose its prized investment grade over the next 6-9 months, even with European support.
Spaniards continue to suffer. Most forecasts are for the economy to shrink a further 1.5 percent next year. Inflation is rising due to a hike in the value-added and other taxes.
The bleak outlook carries high risks for the ECB plan, with some analysts saying it could fail to restore market confidence for more than a few months. Were the ECB to start buying bonds, it could not stop without devastating consequences.
"The market effect might be short, one month or two but a rescue has to work over two years," Diez said. "In six months time you might be discussing a full-blown rescue. To avoid that, the ECB will have to fulfill its pledges and buy (bonds) every week... And if it buys and then stops, then you're in trouble." (Editing by Fiona Ortiz and Peter Graff)

oh yea huh, that makes me feel a bit old though.
I recently picked up a SNES Mini, new, retail price. Screw the scalpers
Good start to 2018. Manage to find Xbox one s cuphead edition at local CL. The guy won the contest from Xbox Twitter give away and decided to sell it so he can get VR gear. Also picked up few games. Not sure why job simulator is rising in price on eBay.
Man I haven't been around these parts in years, it's cool to see there's still some find activity! I'm thinkin about compiling a best-of-finds list from the past couple years and posting it. I got away from video games for awhile and they pretty much stopped showing-up in my town, plus I got hooked on vinyl and that's p much why I stopped posting here. I got a lot of great memories for DP and hope it stays around and maybe someday gets some more traffic again.
In Heaven, everything is fine.
one of....the last game store to carry any thing older than current gen stuff suddenly closed and I managed to pick up a random assortment of things I probably would never buy any way.
I got:
Gen model 1 / Master system AV cables
Gen model 2 AV cables
Final Fight (SNES)
Radical Psycho Machine Racing (SNES)
3x PS2 memory cards
1x PSX memory card
NES MAX controller
PSX multitap
N64 Transfer Pack
Sears Video Arcade II
Altered Beast (SMS) Complete
Shanghai (SMS) Loose
Sonic & Knuckles (GEN)
Game Genie (GEN)
MegaMan Maverick Hunter X (PSP) Loose
StarStrike (INTV) $free
I couldn't tell you how much I spent, it wasn't much. everything started at 50% and quickly jumped to 70%
sadly there was no curren gen or any thing of notable value because everything old $45 and up as well as current stuff was shipped to another store...this was the problem with this store to begin with.
This is not my find but a friend of mine, it is really amazing that I wanted to share it:
Magical Chase with jewel case and manual ... the game costed less than a Chick-fil-a combo
Las calles no son basurero, POR FAVOR TIREN LA BASURA EN SU LUGAR !!!!
I drove by a thrift I used to love visiting that I haven't been in for some time, and I decided to stop. Good thing, too. Thrift stores are usually so bare it's not worth the effort, but this time I got lucky. Came across a plastic tub covered in cellophane tape with what I noticed was a bare Colecovision on top. Underneath... is that really a Coleco Telstar Arcade? I always wanted one back in the day, so I grabbed it. $29.82 for the whole tub, "as-is". I purposely didn't look too hard into the box because I kind of wanted it to be a surprise for when I got home and opened it. That bare Colecovision had the controllers underneath, along with the Atari 2600 Changer and Driving Controller module. The steering wheel and pistol missing from that Telstar Arcade were wrapped in a bag underneath too, along with cartridge #3 (kind of damaged, I have no idea if it'll work right). There was an Atari Flashback 2 underneath without a power supply. Other than that, everything else has cables and power supplies. There were only common games included unfortunately, but that Telstar Arcade makes up for that. I'm definitely happy.

Awesome find. It's probably been more than 10 years since I've come across anything remotely like that in a thrift store. I remember quite often finding comforter bags wrapped in packaging tape stuffed with game system stuff for around $30. That doesn't keep me from checking thrift stores on a weekly basis though.

Steve W (02-26-2018)
After giving it a good look over, I realized that the Coleco Telstar Arcade power supply (a) has what looks like a worn-out cord coming off the wall wart, which is not a big deal since (b) the tip that plugs into the console is missing, there's just two loose wires. And the Telstar Arcade doesn't run off batteries. Guess I need to find a replacement.
I got a tub of black wii at a flea market for $10, its turns on, no disc inside, controller was chewed on my an animal of some sort but hey, it was $10 and gamecube compatible.
I could do the home brew on it since I feel werid about doing that with my launch and black Friday blue consoles
Picked these up for cheap. Ps3 hori steering wheel for $0.99 and dark soul 3 collector edition for $4.99.
Dude, good job on buying that PS3 Hori steering wheel!
I picked up Outlaws for PC yesterday. A game from LucasArts I'd never heard of, so I picked it up for a couple bucks. Pretty meh as far as finds go, but it has been so long since I found anything at all, it was worth a post.
A few weeks ago I found:
Megaman Legends PS1 $1.99
Spyro 2 PS1 $1.99
Battle Arena Toshinden (longbox) PS1 $1.99
Battle Arena Toshinden 2 (longbox) PS1 $1.99
all came from a shoebox on the floor at a salvation army!
Holy schnikies, mailman187666! That's a really good price for those!
havent posted here in quite some time...but saturday i went to a small independent game store close to me and the owner had a sega game gear he was going to throw out...he couldnt get it to power on.....so he gave it to me for free...however, i did get it to turn on...but for the life of me, it will not read a cartridge...probably bad capacitors...

Takei is using real life experience consulting on and starring in the Vancouver-shot TV show The Terror, which includes scenes in a Second World War Japanese internment camp in the U.S.
Star Trek legend George Takei lands in Vancouver for TV series and Show of Hearts telethon
When the voice that sounds like it was filtered through blackstrap molasses and 18-year-old single malt said a deliciously elongated "hellooooooo," there was no need to ask: "Can I please speak to George?"
There was no mistaking it. It was the voice of actor, author, activist and pop culture legend George Takei a.k.a. Star Trek's original Mr. Sulu.
"I'm recognized before you see me. As a matter of fact, sometimes my voice gets me in trouble," said Takei recently.
"Sometimes I can let my ugly self appear."
By ugly self Takei means getting a little wound up when travelling and dealing with a crowded airport. The horror.
But after almost an hour of lively, wide ranging conversation with the thoughtful, funny and interesting octogenarian it's hard to imagine an "ugly self," exists in any great measure in the iconic Star Trek star.
It's been 53 years since Takei first took a seat on the bridge of the USS Enterprise as helmsmen Hikaru Kato Sulu. The TV series ran from 1966 to 1969, then took on new life in re-runs. That original cast got back to together for the first six Star Trek films, made from 1979 to 1991.
While the original Star Trek will live long and forever prosper in the annals of entertainment, these days when you bring up Takei's name quite often people say: "Oh, I follow him on Twitter." And by people I don't mean convention-going Trekkies.
If you haven't followed Takei, do. He is political, fearless and fun.
Takei, who has almost 3 million followers, says he jumped on Twitter as soon as the 140-word monster appeared, but now he is wary of what the social media platform has become.
"I did embrace it right off the bat. I thought it was wonderful," said Takei, who also has millions of followers on Instagram and Facebook.
"You know, the old classic town square where everybody from a college professor to the village idiot can get on their soapbox and people will listen to them.
"It was a wonderful way to communicate, and I was able to have conversations via social media all over the world. The globe was the town square. But over the years the ugly side of social media appeared … these people called trolls."
Takei named online bullying of vulnerable teens and nefarious political entities attacking democracy as two big reasons for his dismay with this part of the digital universe.
"What I once thought was a wonderful way to have civil, friendly and engaging discussion has turned into a menace in our society," said Takei, who when asked if he gets trolled answered: 'Oh my God. yes'."
So it doesn't take someone of Spock-like intellect to figure out the openly gay activist doesn't dig America's Tweeter-in-Chief President Donald Trump, and those who surround him.
While Takei acknowledges and sometimes publicly condemns the polarization of the US right now, he is quick to point out that his "ugly self" never gets so ugly that he loses hope or is no longer able to see the good in the world.
"I feel blessed in so many ways. The fact that I live in a country where, despite all these problems, I can make a contribution to making it better, that I can speak out. I can raise funds. I can sometimes hopefully prevail in a situation and make the situation better," said Takei.
"So, I feel blessed that way. I'd rather look at the positive and optimistic side than say I live in a terrible country, it's divided, we're at war with each other.
"People who are negative and pessimistic get nothing done. It's the optimists that see the possibilities in the situation and can say 'I can deal with it. I can make it better'," said Takei.
One of those ways to make it better is to lend a charitable hand, and that is just what he will be doing when he joins the Global B.C. News Hour team on Feb. 10 at the Molson Canadian Theatre at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver as co-host for the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon.
This year is the 53rd incarnation of the telethon that, to date, has distributed more than $150 million to B.C. families with kids with special needs.
In an interesting bit of telethon trivia, Takei's old cast mate and friend Leonard Nimoy, a.k.a. Mr. Spock, co-hosted the telethon from 1970-77.
"I love following in Leonard's footsteps on things like this," said Takei, adding that while shooting the Star Trek shows and movies Nimoy and he were conversation mates between shots.
"We sat around the set and talked about the latest headlines. He was a politically involved person as well. We were usually involved in the same political campaigns. We didn't prevail. We were always supporting the candidates that didn't, win like Adlai Stevenson."
Takei will be sticking around Vancouver for a few months, as he is working on the second season of the Ridley Scott executive produced AMC series The Terror.
Set during Second World War, the 10-part series centres on a ghost that menaces Japanese-Americans in their homes, in the Pacific theatre, and Japanese American internment camps.
Takei plays a retired Japanese-American fisherman on the show, but he is also signed on as a consultant as he comes with an understanding of the time period: Takei and his family were among the 120,000 Japanese Americans that were interned just after Japan bombed Pearl Harbour in 1941.
At age five, Takei along with his parents and two siblings were sent to Arkansas then to Northern California. The family spent three and half years in camps.
"My childhood internment has defined my life. I'm an activist because of my childhood imprisonment," said the Los Angeles native.
"It was the most irrational, mindless, hateful act. We were innocent people who had nothing to do with Pearl Harbour."
As a teenager Takei became angry that history and the civics books he was reading didn't include what he and his family and thousands of others went through.
Throughout the years Takei has revisited his history and used his creativity to make sure that dark time in the U.S. doesn't ever fall from memory.
His 1994 autobiography To The Stars discussed his internment. In 2015, he starred in the Broadway musical Allegiance that was loosely based on his family's story. He is now working on The Terror, and this summer will publish his first graphic novel They Called Us Enemy, about a family that manages to find some joy while being in a camp.
While heavy topics are covered there are constants in a conversation with Takei — optimism and openness. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry constantly reinforced those two things, he said.
"Gene Roddenberry was an optimist. He was one of those people who saw the goodness in people and that is so important," said Takei, about the celebrated and inclusive visionary.
"The philosophy of Star Trek was made into an acronym — IDIC: Infinite diversity, infinite combinations — and you saw that usually on the bridge of the Enterprise."
As Roddenberry once said: "If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear."
So if you could transport Roddenberry to 2019 what would he think about the modern world, about social media trolls, and the Alt Right?
Takei doesn't hesitate to answer.
"He was outspoken while he was alive, and I can't imagine he would be any different if he was still with us," said Takei about Roddenberry, who died in 1991.
"Make America Great Again is now the motto of people that want to divide us. Diversity is their enemy. They can't take differences. Gene Roddenberry saw differences as strength."
