Design Approach
Inspired by the striking aesthetics of carbon fiber composites found on high-performance vehicles, the looks of the Atlas Carbon match its robust and clean sound. The weave inherent to high-strength carbon fiber is interpreted using multi-layer printing and set against a brilliant blue background. The design compliments the sharp creases, sleek lines, and metallic accents of the Atlas to create a modern, high-tech visual effect.

I'm trying to read a Matlab script and can't figure out what does randn generate here:
a=0.1; b=a*randn;
Is it a random real number from (0, 1)?

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Documentation from Matlab R2012a
It will generate a number $x$ such that $x$ follows $N(0,1^2)$
My Box-Muller Implementation
Googling "Matlab randn" gives, as a first result, this Matlab documentation. The first example there says:
In your case then you are generating numbers with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 0.1, as you have b = 0 + 0.1 * randn(100,1).
In fairness, finding this through Google isn't hard.

Miss New York, the New Miss America, Delivers Liberal Conventional Wisdom on Guns
- 39446 views
- Uploaded 12:00 AM Jan 13th, 2013
- categories: Entertainment Media People
- tags: gun control Miss America
- channels: Media Research Center
Minutes before being crowned Miss America on Saturday night, Miss New York, Mallory Hytes Hagan, matched the attitude toward guns espoused by her very liberal Governor, Andrew Cuomo. Asked by judge Sam Champion, the weather-reader for ABC's Good Morning America, about putting armed guards in schools, Hagen condemned the concept, insisting: "The answer is not to fight violence with violence."
As if law enforcement officers carrying guns fuels violence.
She argued during the pageant in Las Vegas televised on ABC: "I don't think the proper way to fight violence is with violence. I think the proper way is to educate people on guns and the ways that we can use them properly. We can lock them up, we can have gun safety classes, we can have a longer waiting period. The answer is not to fight violence with violence, however."

Newtown, Conn., had been the site of one homicide in the last 13 years until a man wearing a bulletproof vest and fatigues, carrying three guns, shot his way into an elementary school and killed 26 women and children last month.
For some, such a devastating attack reinforces their belief that police should have advanced defense equipment at their disposal. For others, the inability to forecast an evil act strengthens their resolve that taxpayers should not spend millions to outfit police in low-crime areas with military-grade gear.

Jesse Eisenberg is the quick-witted bully you think he is. He's smart, sharp, and ready to make you feel silly for even showing up.
My goal at the press junket for his new movie Now You See Me was to loosen him up and have some fun -- but I should've known better. He didn't let me make him look like anything other than who he wanted me (or the public) to see. I caught him smirking at my attempts to be funny a few times, but he would immediately catch himself and throw something back at me with a straight face.
Having a conversation with Jesse Eisenberg was like having a conversation with my stubborn-as-a-mule older brother; he has to counter everything you say. But unlike my brother, who I am able to get up and walk away from, I had to sit through five minutes of arguing with the 29-year-old New Yorker best known for playing Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network.
I spare you a standard written story about the movie or Eisenberg (Sorry, Jesse Eisenberg). Instead, I give you the lowlights (because they're definitely not highlights) of our interview in the video above. Enjoy, or don't, Jesse wouldn't care.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Tell us what you think...
The community thinks...
SOLID. Owned many Toyota trucks. First big SUV. by Dboz from Cleveland on 02/23/2008. Trim: 2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5 4WD, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Very smooth and quiet. Tons of room. I like the third row and how it operates. I prefer this style to the new redesign. The new one gives up a lot of rear storage compared to this model. I think these SUV's are aging nicely as far as style goes. They still look very similar to brand new 4 Runners.
Cons: A little thirsty but aren't they all.
Overall review: Great for a family or lots of friends. Awesome for trips. Worth the extra fuel costs. The 4 speed transmission hurts the highway mileage compared to the new 6 speeds found in newer vehicles but I can pay for a lot of gas with the 20k I saved over new!!! So a few MPG is not a big deal.
Review ID: #523971 Is this review offensive?
Mr CAR by ramsey from Boston on 01/18/2008. Trim: 2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5 4WD, Owned 5 years.
Pros: It was an appropriate vehicle in My family household. The vehicle was a Road Warrior on an off the road. Good high performance vehicle.
Cons: Tires wear out easily, because the tire rated for this vehicle was under sized.Tire wear was a problem even when a aligment was done on the vehicle. A heavy duty roughed vehicle tire was needed, to perform the upmost product safety for your value and tread life. Tires rated were P265/65R17 Dunlops/Bridgestones. Another problem that existed was the front drivers side carpeted floor mat always rolled up when entering vehicle
Overall review: Overall the car performed at peak performance. Handling with a surety and convincingly I'll purchase another one in the next three to five year. Maybe a upgrade of vehicle Options.
Review ID: #521926 Is this review offensive?
my first toyota very impressed. by jewelene from calif. on 10/26/2007. Trim: 2003 Toyota Sequoia Limited 2WD, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I traded my 2002 Z71 tahoe for the seqouia. This is the first toyota I have ever owned. Swore I would never buy one. Man have I ate my words. Iam so in love with this vehicle it is the smoothest v-8 I have ever driven very impressed. It handles like a dream. Passing is no effort lots of power. The room is wonderful seats eight yaaaaaaaaaaa. I love all the bells and whisltes like the back window sliding up and down heated seats, mirrors that pull in electronicaly, being able to run the radio from the steering wheel. Iam so spoiled with the sequoia. My tahoe was nice and I loved it, but the toyota beats it hands down.
Cons: nothing at alllllllllllllllllllllllll.
Overall review: Style top notch. Handeling the best. smooth running. reliable. Quality . holds it value for a long time.
Review ID: #518238 Is this review offensive?
MY SAVING GRACE, "TRULY" by MS.T from Phoenix, AZ on 10/15/2007. Trim: 2003 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4WD, Owned 5 years.
Pros: That I have one less thing to complain about
Cons: I dont like the fact that Ive become so dependent on my Sequoia and maybe always being stopped by total strangers, curious about the perfermance, price, and my satisfaction.
Overall review: This is the "PERFECT" SUV for anyone wanting the whole package. You cant go wrong with this one. It fits everyone from the very active lifestyle to the more conservative people. There is no other on the road that can compare. When faced with an unavoidable road hazard, my knee jerk reaction was to swerve hard to the left, I immediately felt the vehicles safety features take over, preventing me from overcorrecting. I am, without a doubt, convinced that had I been behind the wheel of anything other than my Toyota, I wouldn't have made it home that night. If you value your life and/or the life of your friends or family, buy this GREAT SUV.
Review ID: #517519 Is this review offensive?
The Best SUV by far by Woody Warner Robins on 09/30/2004. Trim: 2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5 2WD, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Love the Power.
Cons: Seats could be softer.
Overall review: Excellent SUV

Good Questions: Loft Beds?
Hello AT,
I live in a 2 room LES apartment that is under 350sf. For additional space I need to install a loft bed in one room so that I will have sleeping up top and dining and an office area below. It can't look ordinary and needs to be reasonably priced. Can anyone suggest resources to see some great designs for inspiration or can you recommend a qualified builder?
Thanks, Lisa S.
What a great question for this month! We have never built a loft bed, but we have seen ads for carpenters who specialize in doing just this. Mainly we have seen them on Craigslist, but we couldn't find many today...
Here's links for Luke Lowdnesand Julian. Also, here is Musa Sangare, who is a good general carpenter and handyman.
There is definitely more out there and we'll post it as we see it. Others, please comment if you have tips. (Thanks, Lisa!) MGR

Sorry, no recommendations for a builder, except to say that custom would be the best way to go if you plan on staying there for a while. Also wanted to give an idea of how big to make it.
Friend of mine lived in straight studio and made his own loft bed to span the entire width of the main room at one end of the room. He made it high enough to walk under (how high are your ceilings) so that he had access the the bathroom that was at the end of the room and also so that he could hang his clothes at either end (a walk through closet if you will) with room for dresser below each set of hanging clothes.
Your layout may not allow you to do the walk under and through to another room (bathroom or kitchen) but if you have the height I would definitely go full width. It will also make the structure stronger because you could brace the vertical posts against the walls.
No builder from me either, but I have to add that my downstairs neighbors have a lovely adult-looking built-in loft. It's all stained a shiny, rich brown, and the stairs are open cubes for extra storage. Beneath is extra closet space and a small built-in desk. They didn't build it, but it definitely is a nicer piece than most of those utilitarian jobbies you see all around. Definitely think about your loft as more than just a short high space for a mattress. I clipped out a picture of an apartment in brooklyn that had a large, king-sized loft with space for sleeping, surfing and watching TV, if that's more your thing...
If you get a hold of the book, Living Large in Small Spaces- Expressing Personal Style in 100 to 1,000 Square Feet, there are some great bed ideas in there. I'm remembering one that retract into the ceiling by a pulley system.
Unless you have very high ceilings (at least 12') I don't think a loft bed will look very good. In order to make it not feel like sleeping in a coffin, you will only be able to leave a "crouching" height space underneath.
If you do have high ceilings, consider building what I call a "living cube". Instead of a simple loft bed, build a large box with a sleeping space on top, and storage and a sit down desk notched in underneather. The desk area is recessed, meaning you are not actually under the cube, only your workspace is. I've seen a few of these, and they look far better than loft beds. Put drywall&paint/nice paneling on the "cube" and it becomes a statement rather than a college age solution.
If you don't have a high ceilings go for a good murphy bed.
IKEA has loft beds that can be combined with workstations. The beds cost around $200. A friend of mine had one and I thought it looked pretty nice, especially for such an inexpensive bed. Search for TROMSÖ at IKEA's website.
The ladder can mount on the left or right side of the bed. The space under the bed can be utilized by installing TROMSÖ work station
WOW!!! I've known Luke for 25 years, since were kids.... We're like brothers. We were room mates for several years and worked together on many different types of jobs. I recommend him 100%. Trust me when I tell you he's a great guy, very bright, creative, hard working, and totally trustworthy. Oh, yeah, he's a real character, too...... His last name is spelled LOWNDS.
I forgot to add something earlier.....
When Luke and I were room mates, we moved into a funky railroad flat on Amsterdam Avenue and 105th St (boy, did that place need work!). We each built loft beds - mine was built from old decking from my father's penthouse, and Luke found a section of an laminated, curved oak spiral staircase (!), which he proceeded to build his bed around. It was an amazing piece of work, I'm telling you. He'd sit under that bed and play jazz on his guitar. It was great.
So Lisa S. Were any of these suggestions helpful? Do you have high ceilings?
reasonable safety question.
i'm looking for a loft bed as well and checked the ikea TROMSO unit which seems acceptable enough - except that i have a queen size bed which measures approx 78" x 60", where the TROMSO says it can only handle a mattress 74.5" x 53" (a "full/double" size).
do you all think it would be obscenely unsafe to try to plop my mattress on this loft? it'd be in a corner, so theoretically the extra width and possibly height could be reinforced somewhat by the apartment walls?
i'm not looking to fall to my death really, but ikea is so cheap and easy.. thoughts?
About the TROMSO unit: Don't buy it! I have one myself, and it was a huge mistake. very wobbly, even without the added stress of a queen-size mattress. I'll be selling mine and getting something else...
I just purchased the tromso bed and it is AMAZING!! I live in a tiny apt and now it looks like a mansion. I was weary by the other reader that it is wobbly, but mine is not at all - and I'm 22 years old! Great purchase - IKEA is the BEST :)
Has anyone recently assembled the Tromso loft bed? We have different end cap then what is in the instructions? Help please if you can.
I'd like to recommend this loft bed maker: http://www.mcwoodworksinc.com/ , he often has listings on ebay for a little cheaper than the price on his site. I wish I had found out about him before I purchased my own loft bed! I wouldn't suggest one if your ceiling height is less than 10 feet.
I went to Ikea and tested each loft bed by shaking them. Everyone of them was pathetically wobbly except for the Fjelldal. Some of them had 1" deep legs! That's simply idiotic; they'll topple over in no time. But the Fjelldal is a full size loft bed with 64" clearance from floor to bed which is too much for my room.
Have you ever thought about a Murphy Bed or Wall Bed? They deliver the same benefit by getting the bed out of the way so you can use more space. Checked out www.wallbedfactory.com they have a lot of pictures so you can get a feel of what a murphy bed is.
They're pretty cool
http://www.woodenlofts.com/ has excellent beds. They also sell the plans on their site. They make them up to a queen size and they can really do anything you want.
You guys all need to try this guy (his company) in Brooklyn/Manhattan.
His company only hand builds custom loft beds, and are really nice. I needed a bed same week and he fit me in, and delivered! I didn't have to put anything together. Nice ladder, edges, and soft sanded edges really did won me over. Highly recommended!
Sticks for Stones Woodworking, Inc.
Ok, a few weeks ago I went with the last comment - and had a great experience with Stephen / Sticks for Stones custom loft beds! I got what I wanted, a solid product; strong, stable, and way better looking then the other guys. I just wanted a loft bed with an adult look in the specific space I wanted that was safe. I got it with Stephen, he's a pro, really. It came assembled and he installed it within 90 minutes. I had my whole day set aside, but he was right - needless to say I had a lot of free-time that day and a wonderful experience, and loft bed to boot!

Deductive Reasoning Isn't As Helpful Thumb Wars (At Least When It Comes To Love)0 Reviews
A dorky love story about dorky boys. Inui/Tezuka.
more than
I could hope
to ever explain
with tennis or data or words
and perhaps that is why I think of this most of all
Nationals were won and gone, and Tezuka Kunimitsu found himself at home, bored.
That wasn't to say that he'd stopped his strict tennis practice regiment, or that he'd ceased his nightly studies of German, English and The Art of Gourmet Sausages. Far from it - in fact he spent more time on them than he ever had in his life.
And yet - and yet he was missing something - an indefinable something that he couldn't quite wrap his long, skilled fingers around. He had a wonderful home, plenty of nutritious and delicious things to eat and drink, a mentally stimulating environment and a healthy passion for the activities he loved.
Perhaps he needed a new hobby. Yes - something fresh and fun that would reignite his fire, so to speak.
He picked up his phone.
The data on Nationals were recorded, analyzed and filed, and Inui Sadaharu found himself at home, bored.
That wasn't to say that he'd stopped his strict tennis practice regiment, or that he'd ceased his nightly studies of Psychology, Nuclear Warfare and The Art of Juices. Far from it - in fact, he'd found a fascinating way to combine all three that should have preoccupied his prodigious brain for at least 29.4 more days.
And yet - and yet he was missing something - and indefinable something that he couldn't quite grasp in his large, warm grip. His heart-rate was normal, his urine sample results were nothing short of spectacular, and Kaidoh had taken to emailing pictures of his legs to him for data.
Perhaps he needed to conduct a new sort of experiment. Yes - something unique and dangerous that would put a whole new twist on things, so to speak.
He decided to IM Fuji.
slice_of_juicy_pi: Salutations, Fuji.
I have a few questions for you.
The instant message flashed on Fuji's monitor just as the mobile phone in his pocket began to vibrate pleasantly. He relished the feeling of popularity for a few seconds, then flipped the phone open and tucked it under his ear so his hands were free for typing.
"Hello, this is Fuji!"
prince_des_pommes: wHaT iS iT, iNuI~?? ^_^;;
i HoPe ThAt NoThInG sErIoUs HaPpEnEd ...
"Fuji ... it's Tezuka," Tezuka's voice said lowly, as though Fuji wouldn't be able to tell from the caller ID or the live feed from camera 93. Tezuka always was cute like that.
slice_of_juicy_pi: I appear to have been taken with a sudden bout out ennui.
I was hoping you'd be persuaded into doing an entertaining activity with me.
"Oh my, how lovely of you to call. How are you doing? Has something exiting happened since I saw you at practice ... or is this a personal call?"
prince_des_pommes: DiD yOu HaVe AnYtHinG in ParTiCuLaR iN mInD~??
"..." Tezuka didn't say loudly. "I wondered if you could contribute any ideas as to a new pastime I could partake in. Any suggestions would have to be, of course, legal."
slice_of_juicy_pi: I am a vegetable at the mercy of the blender of your mind.
Fuji chuckled. "Oh Tezuka, you joker. I am curious ... why are you asking me?"
prince_des_pommes: i ThInK i HaVe A fEw IdEaS... ^__^
"Knitting. Eating contests. Playing with fire. Playing with cats. Playing at being cats. Changing adult dia-never mind. Don't flatter yourself at being the first on my list."
slice_of_juicy_pi: Oh?
Fuji's eyes fell open. "You do know how to woo a boy, Tezuka," he smiled into the phone. "Of course I'd be delighted in assisting you with dilemma! We are friends, after all."
prince_des_pommes: AwAiT mY EmAiL.
prince_des_pommes: p.S. yOu oWe Me. ^__^
"After school tomorrow, meet me in the playground of the elementary school across the road."
Fuji clicked the phone shut. He let his fingers fly over his keyboard, smile widening.

Subject: A Benevolent Challenge
Syuusuke's Super Swell Sortie
Introduction: Have you recently found yourself plagued with a lack of excitement? Do you need something to get your heart racing and blood pumping? Then, my friend, this is clearly an opportunity you can't miss.
Assignment: Make Tezuka Kunimitsu smile without the use of torture, blackmail, threats, hostages and/or mind altering substances.
- Tezuka Kunimitsu
- Yamaguchi-sensei's kindergarten class room (daily, 4:00-5:00 PM) and all materials found within
- An innovative and ready mind
Ganbatte! I have faith in you Inui. You have three weeks to deliver an answer to me. Should you fail, the microchip I implanted in your member will detonate, spreading a poison that rots flesh throughout your body. Then, you will die. ^__^
They look quite a bit more than ridiculous, squeezed into little plastic and metal chairs made for people even smaller than Echizen. Only one of Inui's sculpted buttocks can fit on the seat, but more importantly he was losing their fourth round of Candyland. Contrary to data suggesting otherwise, the game wasn't causing laughter to escape from the bars of Tezuka's lips.
He did look, Inui noted, quite smug for an expressionless person. "So there's this bar in Chiba that has a magical mirror. If you look into it and speak the truth, it will grant you eternal happiness. If you lie, you'll disappear. Hyotei's Atobe, Rikkai Dai's Yukimura and Seishun Gakuen's Ryuuzaki Sakuno go there together," Inui said loudly, determined to out-voice the recording of Old McDonald had a Farm emanating from an unknown (and impossible to track down) location.
Tezuka blinked blankly back at Inui.
"Atobe looks into the mirror and says, 'I think I'm the most perfect human in the world' and POOF! He disappears. Yukimura looks in and says, 'I think I'm the most beautiful human in the world' and POOF! He disappears. Sakuno looks in and says, 'I think ...' and POOF!"
For a good five minutes, Mary Had A Little Lamb drowned out all other sounds, especially Inui's attempt to laugh at his joke. Then -
"They are all too young to go into a bar."
But when their hour is up, Tezuka just said, "I'll see you tomorrow."
Inui watched him leave, smiling as wide as he could and waving. He knew this contributed to an aura of friendliness, which was essential in creating a laugh-encouraged environment. He started to pull his notebook out to record more observations when he spotted something gleam on the chair Tezuka had been sitting on.
Using a pair of forceps, he retrieved one perfect strand of hair.
He placed it in a ziplocked baggie, and thought of the broken bracelet next he'd put in the box under his bed, next to Renji's old toothbrush.
On Tuesday, they decided to relocate all activities to the big lavender carpet (both were quite sore). They played a matching game and jack stones. They tied on the matching game, but all of the jacks seemed to be attracted to Tezuka's Zone. Misery was humorous to some people, but Tezuka seemed unmoved by Inui's struggles. Instead, he was bored.
"Knock knock," Inui said as he dealt out the Uno cards.
Tezuka raised an eyebrow slightly. "Who is there."
"Joe who."
Inui adjusted his glasses, face deadpan. "Joe mama."
Tezuka won the game of Uno.
After one week, they'd played every game in the small classroom, including Scrabble, which was so well loved by the elementary students that all of the vowels seemed to have disappeared, probably into their stomachs. Tezuka won with "CRWTH".
"Why should you never fall in love with a tennis player?" Inui asks, ignoring his reflection in Tezuka's glasses, and looking into Tezuka's eyes.
"To them 'Love' means nothing."
Inui now had eighteen strands of Tezuka's hair in his possession.
Two weeks after Tezuka and Inui began their after-school sessions, Tezuka woke up with something funny on his face. Slowly, he brought his hand up and felt it. No doubt about it - something strange was going on. His lips were curved upwards in an unmistakable smile.
"What's that on your face?" his grandfather barked as Tezuka sat down for breakfast. "It looks gay!"
Tezuka sipped at his tea silently.
"Oh shut up," Tezuka's mother chided, pressing a warm kiss onto the top of Tezuka's head after setting his plate down on the table. "You look great ... though ..." she trailed off as she looked him up and down.
Tezuka could only imagine what strange thing his body was doing now based on her expression. He probably had cancer.
"Why are you wearing your school uniform?"
Tezuka's eyes widened. "I -"
She slid the back of her hand against Tezuka's forehead. "It's Sunday, Kuni-chan."
Tezuka excused himself from the table and went into the bathroom. He looked into the mirror. He felt ... disappointed. Disappointed that he wouldn't be playing children's games with Inui today. Disappointed ... that he wouldn't be playing with Inui?
He cleared his throat. "I think I like Inui," he said to the mirror.
He didn't go POOF.
Inui didn't understand. Here he was at the park, and there Kaidoh was, bending over to touch his toes, backside bulging out beautifully.
And yet, he god the feeling that ... that he'd rather be researching various games that could be played with strings, or visiting venues comedians frequented. It was a pity tickling counted as torture, though at the rate he was going at, there was a 0.001% chance Tezuka was ticklish anyway. But maybe touch was the key? Was there a way he could get around it in a way that was acceptable to Fuji ...?
"Senpai!" Kaidoh grunted loudly, and Inui snapped out of his thoughts.
Inui smiled. "Yes, Kaidoh?"
Kaidoh blushed. "Your ... your phone is ringing," he mumbled. "Fssssshhh."
He retrieved his phone from his bag and nearly dropped it when he saw the ID flashing on the screen.
Tezuka Kunimitsu
"Hello, Tezuka," he said, looking away from Kaidoh.
He listened to Tezuka breathing for a while. "Inui," Tezuka said. "It's Sunday."
"Yes, it is." Inui waited for Tezuka to elaborate.
"I'll see you tomorrow."
"Of course."
"Aa. Goodbye then."
"Tez-" Inui began, but then there was a click.
Inui's suggestion of playing thumb wars wasn't turning out as well as he thought it would. True, he had the size advantage, but inexplicably, his thumb was always attracted towards the center of their grasped palms, and he kept losing.
Tezuka's hands were very soft. And nice.
They had been playing for about ten minutes when Inui realized that his palms were sweating. A tinge of pink rose in his cheeks, and he wondered if Tezuka would soon pull away, grossed out. Of course, they were tennis players, and tennis caused a lot of sweat, so there was a 19.64% chance that Tezuka didn't mind or notice. Or was that 19.65%?
He'd been trapped under Tezuka's thumb for quite a while before he realized he was, before he realized Tezuka was looking at him intently.
He licked his lips, and opened them, then closed them.
Tezuka's pinky twitched, and Inui jerked his hand away. "Sorry my hands got so sweaty," he said quickly. "But the temperature has risen by half a degree since we entered and my senses are very in tune with the environment."
"I see," Tezuka said, standing up, and leaving.
They still had fifteen minutes left in the session.
Inui waited in the elementary classroom.
He waited until 4:05. 4:10. 4:30. 4:45. 5:00.
He wondered if he would be kicked out by a patrolling teacher. He imagined being arrested: Seigaku Student Disrupts the Education of Japan's Future!
He left at six, and walked by the elementary school's courts. He remembered playing there. He remembered a lot of things.
He'd been about to fall asleep when his eyes snapped open. His cell phone was ringing - only he couldn't tell where it was coming from. He searched around frantically for it, and found it ... in the box under his bed. He'd forgotten about it all day.
9 missed calls.
He called his voicemail.
"Inui, it's Tezuka. I'm sorry I won't be able to make it today. My grandfather had a hiking accident. He's okay, but I'll be escorting him home from the hospital as soon as school gets out. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Inui, it's Tezuka again. It's been about an hour since I called, and I was merely wondering if you got my message."
Inui took the broken bracelet out of the box.
"The object of this game," Inui said, "is to slap the hands of the person who places their hands on top before they can pull away."
He was 99.9% sure of this. The Zone hadn't failed so far. And the other 0.1% -- well, it was worth it to risk it.
Inui swallowed before continuing. "I'll put my hands on top first."
It took less than a moment: the feel of Tezuka's skin disappeared from beneath and was on top of his palms. "You got me," Inui said, and he leaned forward and pressed his lips against Tezuka's.
Tezuka didn't pull away, and they stayed like that lips to lips, until it became strange. Inui supposed maybe he was supposed to move his mouth or maybe even his tongue, but he didn't have sufficient data on what Tezuka would like, or what he would like or -
When Inui pulled his head back, their lips made a quiet kiss sound.
"My turn to be on top," Tezuka said, and then their hands were against each other again.
Inui brought his hands around and over in slow motion, but it didn't matter. "And now you have me."
(Inui had sufficient data by the end of the day.)

A powerful, emotional and relevant reminder of the heartbreaking toll war takes on the innocent, Nanking tells the story of the Japanese invasion of Nanking, China, in the early days of World War II. As part of a campaign to conquer all of China, the Japanese subjected Nanking – which was then China's capital – to months of aerial bombardment, and when the city fell, the Japanese army unleashed murder and rape on a horrifying scale. In the midst of the rampage, a small group of Westerners banded together to establish a Safety Zone where over 200,000 Chinese found refuge. Unarmed, these missionaries, university professors, doctors and businessmen – including a Nazi named John Rabe – bore witness to the events, while risking their own lives to protect civilians from slaughter. The story is told through deeply moving interviews with Chinese survivors, chilling archival footage and photos of the events, and testimonies of former Japanese soldiers. At the heart of Nanking is a filmed stage reading of the Westerners' letters and diaries, featuring Woody Harrelson, Mariel Hemingway and Jurgen Prochnow. Through its interweave of archival images, testimonies of survivors, and readings of first hand accounts, the film puts the viewer on the streets of Nanking and brings the forgotten past to startling life. Nanking is a testament to the courage and conviction of individuals who were determined to act in the face of evil and a powerful tribute to the resilience of the Chinese people – a gripping account of light in the darkest of times.

When it comes to show-stopping seascapes and world-class bicycling, it's hard to beat the Oregon Coast. See the unique beauty of this place for yourself as we alternate between charming backcountry roads and sandy beaches.
After gathering near the bicycle-friendly town of Eugene, we'll head north, cycling through vineyards, orchards, and Christmas tree farms. Before we know it, we'll be riding down the craggy coastline, camping near the beach, and watching waves break against lighthouses — and we'll almost definitely catch site of a few sea lions. Our group will also visit the coastal towns of Lincoln City, Newport, Yachats, and Florence, each with its own unique flavor.
This ride will follow rivers for much of its course, so we'll be treated to relatively gentle grades and lush landscapes as we pedal toward our camping destination each day. Pack your tent, roll up your sleeping bag, grab your camera, and get ready for a celebration of coastal Oregon.

We'll meet a few miles west of Eugene at picturesque Richardson Park, located near Veneta (and the Eugene airport) on Fern Ridge Reservoir. Here, we will enjoy a scrumptious meal and have our first map meeting. The on-tour mechanic can help ready our bicycles for the road ahead, and we'll start getting acquainted with your new companions. Be sure to check out the nearby headquarters of Co-Motion Cycles, fabricators of some of the world's finest custom tandems and touring bikes, and Bike Friday, makers of great folding bikes!
Eugene to Corvallis, 39 miles. Today we'll pedal north from Eugene, home of the University of Oregon, to Corvallis, location of Oregon State University, through the scenic Willamette Valley. With generally cooler temps than California, the gently rolling hills surrounding the Willamette are home to some of the best wines in the world, as well as to the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge, created to provide a winter habitat for dusky Canada geese.
Corvallis to Lincoln City, 75 miles. Leaving the Corvallis area, today's meandering route takes us to the town of Siletz, a fisherman's paradise located on the Siletz River. We'll then head north to the Pacific Ocean. Tonight, we'll set up camp amid the beefy, wind-sculpted trees of a beautiful state park near Lincoln City where you can explore the long expanses of pristine beach or jump into one of the nearby lakes.
Lincoln City to Waldport, 55 miles. Heading south, we'll pass through Newport, home to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. We'll continue down the coast past South Beach, where kayak tours of the quiet Beaver Creek wetlands are available for those looking to hop off their bikes for awhile. We'll stop next at Seal Rock State Wayside, where you'll want to explore the two-mile-long span of partially submerged ledge rock that attract seals, sea lions, sea birds, and a host of other critters. The wayside also includes tidal pools where you can get up close and personal with countless varieties of smaller, but no less fascinating marine life. Tonight we'll camp at Beachside State Park where we'll fall asleep to the hypnotic sound of crashing waves.
Waldport to Florence, 34 miles. Our group will continue down the coast as we pedal through the town of Yachats (yaw-hots). If you're interested, you can tack an extra 18 miles onto the ride and head up the scenic Yachats River Road to see the charming North Fork of the Yachats Covered Bridge. Immediately south of Yachats is the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, where waves smashing into basaltic headlands make for some of the most spectacular surf action in the world, especially during the storms of winter. Features with descriptive names like the Devil's Churn, Cook's Chasm, and Spouting Horn give you some idea of what to expect. The cape also offers more than 20 miles of hiking trails that weave through old growth rain forest. Farther south we'll visit the Heceta Head Lighthouse, built in 1894, still operational, and among the most photographed lighthouses in the world. This area contains the Sea Lion Caves attraction and good opportunities to spot sea lions and the occasional whale.
Layover day. Today, you'll have the option of riding along the beautiful North Fork of the Suislaw River, an out-and-back distance of 32 miles. If you'd prefer an off-bike day, feel free to laze about with a good book, try your hand at clamming, go bird-watching and whale-watching, take a hike, or pick up some fresh seafood in Florence and have a picnic on the beach. Also, nearby Honeyman State Park features two miles of sand dunes and two freshwater lakes where you can take a swim and go canoeing. The adjacent Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, stretching 40 miles from Florence to Coos Bay, boasts wind-sculpted sand dunes rising more the 500 feet above the ocean.
Florence to Eugene, 77 miles. This morning we'll return inland by way of the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail's Florence-Eugene connector route. We'll climb aptly named Low Pass, elevation 1,023 feet, before descending back to the Willamette Valley and tour's end in Eugene. With the sea breeze still fresh in our minds, and a terrific week of cycling just behind us, we'll say goodbye to our new friends, but not to the fabulous memories that are ours to treasure forever.
"It is difficult to overstate the immense pleasure of riding a bicycle, meeting new friends, exploring new landscapes, history and culture, and simply living, all at the same time. The perspective, strength and confidence gained has value that cannot be adequately valued. "When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race."
2011 Tour Participant
"Overall I would say I most enjoyed the meals. Being a vegetarian/vegan I've come to expect limited variety and sometimes quality of my food. Not so for this trip. The food was superb and something different everyday. I feared that I would actually gain weight on this trip. There was always plenty food available, too. Also appreciated a good choice of local craft beers to select from in the evening to drink. It was a great way to end a good day."
2013 Tour Participant
"It was a great tour! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great company, food, and support. Will def. do another one!"
2011 Tour Participant
"The best part of this tour was actually feeling like I was on vacation. Since I didn't have to worry about where I was going, if I was going to get a mechanical issue along the way , what I was going to eat, etc. I was able to get a good night's sleep, ride and explore at my leisure, and meet lots of people along the way . Very happy with my experience and will definitely be joining another ACA trip in the future."

Also available as a RiffTrax LIVE
Imagine being holed up in a filthy dilapidated building, surrounded by pale-faced hollow-eyed creatures, unable to call for help, while before your eyes zombie-like beings commit the most unspeakable acts. Yes, a night of performance art at your local coffee house is something to be endured. But then so is a Night of the Living Dead! Shocking at the time for its graphic portrayal of the titular living dead feasting on pieces of the dead dead without even a hint of table manners or personal hygiene, what is most startling to modern sensibilities is the performance of the guy in the white pants who looks like Joaquin Phoenix. He manages to actually be worse than Joaquin Phoenix! And if you're a fan of inexplicably hostile, growling men then you have hit the jackpot (you may even throw away your laserdisc collection of the films of Robert Loggia!).
Mike, Kevin and Bill spend the better of a night with the Night of the Living Dead.
This DVD is a Black and White version of the movie. It can be watched Riffed or Unriffed. The DVD is Region Free.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - The state of Connecticut is opening two additional intake centers to help homeowners seeking disaster assistance for losses caused by last year's Superstorm Sandy.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Tuesday that homeowners in New London County will be able to visit a new center at the Groton senior center at 102 Newton Road. Also, a mobile unit serving Middlesex County will meet homeowners at an agreed upon location.
The latest sites are scheduled to open on Wednesday. Connecticut has already opened intake centers in East Haven, Fairfield, Milford and Norwalk. Each location will operate Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Homeowners should call 1-866-272-1976 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. to schedule appointments.

Glitter Dip Nails | A Pair & A Spare
Are you a glitter girl? I am. I've always had a bower bird tendancy, and that includes things I wear. I love glitter nail polish but i hate putting it on - it always gets chunky and piles up, urgh. This is a great idea - paint your nails with a clear polish, cover liberally with glitter (shake off excess) wait til it sets then cover with a clear top coat. I think I would use that really fine glass glitter that Martha uses (and sells!) to give it a bit more of a classy edge. I don't want my glitter nails to look tacky after all!
Easter Fingernail Art | Holiday Snob
What a cute way to celebrate Easter! These are so sweet, as are all the other DIYs featured. I tell you what, ever since they bought out those nail art pens I feel like I could actually attempt these things now. Though I think I'll have to wait for a price reduction before I buy one, they're sooo expensive!

Dora the Explorer Gets Extreme Makeover
She's now a tweenager, goes to middle school, and has moved to the big city. Will she have acne, too?
Mattel and Nickelodeon have announced that Dora the Explorer is growing up.
Gina Sirard, vice president of marketing for Mattel, says: "Girls really identify with Dora and we knew that girls would love to have their friend Dora grow up with them, and experience the new things that they were going through themselves."
As a tween, Dora has moved to the big city, attends middle school and has a whole new fashionable look. She will also have a rich online world, a la Webkinz, in which girls can explore, play games, customize, and solve mysteries with Dora and her new friends.
Wanna see? Nickelodeon and Mattel plan to keep Dora's new look a secret until the brand launch in Fall 2009. And start saving those pennies: The Dora Links fashion doll, for children five years and up, will retail for approximately $59.99.
We're not sure what to think about this proposed new look. We like Dora just the way she is, and are not huge fans of cartoon makeovers in general. But a kindergartener we know recently rejected a Dora toy for being too "babyish" (this, from a five-year-old), so maybe they're onto something.
Are they seriously making Dora a TWEEN?! Sound off!
See Also:
Personally, I think this is a stupid idea. Dora a tween? I think that is aging her a bit too much, technically she should be the same age as my daughter who will soon be 9. Of course girls are going to move on from Dora, but for every girl that does there is one that is just discovering Dora. I don't think that they'll be able to recapture/retain girls just because they are aging her. Not when there are other things to move on to like Hannah Montana, Barbie, HSM, etc. That is just the nature of growing up. Oh Well.
Makes no sense to me!! I agree with Mom2two — Dora as a tween? I just don't see it. Will be interesting to see!
Um my toddler LOVES Dora but I don't think she is gonna like middle school Dora. We probably won't be watching much Dora…unless it is reruns.
I predict the Gina Sirard will be unemployed by Christmas.
You have to admit it's a great marketing move. No other cartoon has ever done this, and it might be fun for our girls to see her grow as they grow. Let's hope they keep her as the great role model she's been for toddlers.
$60 for a doll?? Who will be buying this? They are trying to lure the tweens away from High School Musical and Hannah Montana? Good luck. If they hink it will be the "it" toy for Christmas I think they are deluding themselves.
My daughter is 10,she use to love Dora, but now she also says Dora is to babyish. A tween Dora would be great. She finds Dora another fun way to learn Spanish besides the books that she already reads.
The $60.00 would not happen with me way to expensive for a toy.
My 2 yr old loves Dora and inisists we read her the same book at least ten times before she will let us escape (it's better than Barney, I was overdosed at 14, babysitting a 2 yr old). I think they should introduce an older sister as a tween and leave Dora for the little ones. This has a dual purpose of teaching family interaction between and older and younger sibling and keeping Dora for a new audience of young explorers.
The reality is that little girls are not going to want play with Dora in their Tween Years, because Dora for nine years has been a Preschool property.
Think about it… what tween-aged girl wants to be the one to hear from her friends the question "you play with Dora?"
When Nickelodeon realized they had a hit with Dora they wisely decided to develop a boy brand and cartoon, "Diego".
They should have developed a new Tween cartoon, a sister, a cousin, something like our Cecilia {Ceci}; a Hip Chica on our virtual world www.hipchicas.com that is a true Tween property with a green mission to Help Improve the Planet [HIP] and has a Tween Latina-theme and characters girls can embrace as their own.
Yes I am the CEO and creator of the Hip Chicas, but I am also the father of three Tween daughters and this attempt not only will not work, but as a Toy Company CEO recently told me, "it could do damage to the preschool Dora as well."
I wish them the best, but i have no doubt that this ill conceived idea is destined to fail.
Well, it seems only natural that the toy companies of America will influence young girls into putting jewelry, fashion, and shopping at the upper most regions of their little priority lists. It is absolutely ridiculous that they are going to "sex up" an educational icon.
I suspect, with her being a multi-cultural icon, it will be out of the question for grown-up Dora to model "western" virtues, like modesty and chastity.
As I understand it, the young Dora is NOT going away, she's still on the show and there will still be young Dora products.
I just read that the older Dora is connected to a web-program and she is being called a modern day Nancy Drew. She is still solving mysteries and speaks Spanish. I think this is a great idea - I'm happy that my 6 year old daughter will have a more wholesome choice!! Does anyone know when it will be in the stores?
OMG, give me a break! A TWEEN Dora? She's SO annoying to begin with. Stop shuving SPANISH down our mouths. This AMERICA!!!!
My granddaughter is 15 mos and loves Dora just the way she is. I don't think this is a good idea because the younger ones that are just discovering Dora will be disappointed that she's not the same. Gracie absolutely adores this show, she lights up when it comes on. Please keep Dora just the way she is.
This is crazy. I have young girls. Now what, my two year old is gonna want a training bra and a tampon and a boyfriend. Thanks for taking away my sweet innocent young daughters only joy on the TV…..Barney may prove to better than Dora in the long run. Whats next….Diego the drug dealer….
I totally agree with some of the statements with some of you have posted. For example, introduce a older sibling or relative in the cartoon so it appeals to older kids and keep dora for the little ones. It just shows how much tweens really rule the world now……
I think it is absolutely insane to try to mature a cartoon! She is absolutely fine the way she is. Thats the problem with the world today… kids are growing up way too fast and the industry is encouraging it! Let kids be kids and retain their innocence for as long as they can. So some girls have outgrown Dora…there's always the next generation that is just "discovering" her
I guess with the economic storm at full force Mattel is becoming the "Pimp with a Limp" and putting Dora on high heals, lot's of make up and skimpy clothes cause sex will sell…Ms.Gina Sirard a "Pinhead".
Wht the f*ck. thts so dumb they made dora a hooker
So what this is America… Spanish is a language I am sure u have said you wished you knew how to speak. Ignorant people usually wish they belonged to a better sophisticated group of people.
As for Dora as a tween.. I don't think it is gonna take on as well. My daughters see Dora as more preschool than middle school and Dora will always be viewed as such. Gracias..

Blaine NEXUS hours expanded
Beginning Friday, May 25, the hours of operation of the southbound NEXUS lanes at the Blaine Pacific Highway crossing will be expanded by two hours, to operate between 10 am and 6 pm, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials announced this week.
Current operating hours are from noon to 6 pm. The additional Pacific Highway's southbound NEXUS lane operating hours will expand the benefits provided to those members of the traveling public already enrolled in the NEXUS program.
The expanded hours will be in effect seven days per week. The Pacific Highway northbound NEXUS lane into Canada will remain open from 2 pm to 6 pm.
The NEXUS lane at the Peace Arch crossing in Blaine remains open from 7 am to 9 pm, seven days per week, both northbound and southbound.
The NEXUS alternative inspection programs have been completely harmonized and integrated into a single program. NEXUS members now have crossing privileges at any air, land, and marine ports of entry. In addition, NEXUS is being expanded to seven airports in Canada.
The NEXUS program allows pre-screened, low risk travelers to be processed with little or no delay by United States and Canadian officials at designated highway lanes at high volume border crossing locations, at a NEXUS kiosk at the Vancouver International Airport, and at certain marine reporting locations in the Great Lakes and Seattle, Washington regions. Approved applicants are issued a photo-identification/proximity card.
CBP and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) are cooperating in this venture to simplify border crossings for pre-approved, low-risk travelers.
Individuals may qualify to participate in NEXUS if they are a citizen or permanent resident of the United States or Canada, residing in either country, or if they are a citizen of a country other than Canada or the United States who plan to temporarily reside lawfully in Canada or the United States for the term of their NEXUS membership and who pass an Interpol criminal history check.
Individuals approved to participate in NEXUS receive an identification card that allows them to use the NEXUS-dedicated lanes, and cross the border with minimum questioning.
To participate, both the United States and Canada must approve an individual's application.
The processing fee for a 5-year membership is $50 US or $80 Canadian. Applicants who pay with a U.S. credit card may pay more or less than $50 US, depending on the exchange rate. U.S. dollar payments may also be sent by international money order.
Application forms are available by visiting the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) website. For NEXUS toll-free information (U.S and Canada) call 866/NEXUS-26.
The Blaine NEXUS enrollment center can be contacted at 360/332-2380.

The learning curve in agriculture has been steep the past few years. While droughts and floods, bugs and weeds have challenged farmers' livelihood, commodity prices have been in their favor. That's all changing. Not the weather and pest part—they're here to stay. Record-high grain prices, on the other hand, are gone for now. That's welcome relief for livestock producers and cause to pause for grain farmers.
"This is it; 2014 is the dip in the roller coaster we've been preparing for," says Moe Russell, Farm Journal columnist. "Working capitol will take a hit because of the value of corn, but farmers will have to mind the details to balance current assets and liabilities, along with availability of credit."
In short, sharpen those pencils and keep them sharp. Most importantly, keep your wits about you and recognize that the fundamentals for agriculture are strong. In the midst of the downturn in grain prices, there's some good news. As an industry, farmers are prepared for this new normal.
"Net farm income for 2013 is projected to be a record high, and at the same time, farmers' debt load is at a record low," explains Chip Flory, editor of Pro Farmer. "Our industry is ready for this changing landscape."
Record-high exports and a strong trade surplus, Flory notes, are also bright spots that add strength to the industry's fundamentals. "On top of that, yields are climbing and can help offset the lower commodity prices," he says.
As you look ahead to 2014, capture savings by locking in input needs sooner rather than later. Keep an eye on interest rates; they're sure to go up. Start paying attention to outside pressures on modern-day production agriculture.
Flory's advice: In the midst of change, keep calm and carry on.
There are cost savings to be realized with fertilizer, but don't shortchange your crops.

The hostel is really nice and you get good value for your money. It is a little walk uphill to the tourist attractions which can also be nice as it is more quiet there in the evenings. The rooms are very spacious and well cleaned. Also you get a delicious (free) breakfast every morning with moroccan patisserie Only negative point was that the day activities sometimes seemed a bit overpriced which is why we did them with another hostel

I loved to stay here! The hostel is placed near the Medina, so can reach everything in short ways. You can't smoke inside your room but there's a nice roof terrace, with a wonderful view over the city. Also the perfect place to meet each other. The staff, especially Ben was crazy guy. He's been very kind and funny. My private room had no window, no hot water and the shower sucks but I loved it. Sometimes it's the people, that make a place that lovely.
