Chris Brown just caught the second biggest break of his life ... 95 out of the 117 parking tickets he accrued recently have been dismissed.
Chris' lawyer Mark Geragos said it last month after the singer's progress hearing -- CB had racked up about $15,000 in parking citations for taking up what appeared to be handicapped spaces in the lot at his L.A. condo.
But now, Chris only faces a fraction of that bill -- because sources at the City of West Hollywood tell TMZ, the parking spaces in question were assigned to Chris' apartment from the beginning ... and Chris wasn't doing anything wrong by parking there.
The singer's not entirely in the clear though -- according to city sources, "22 citations remain open" for other parking offenses.
Still, not a bad shake.
Just goes to show with enough money you can buy yourself out of anything.
Cant wait til hes broke like MC Hammer. Wait for it... wait for it.....
f@cking mofo... i cannot believe he can get away with everything!!!
What about the other 22 tickets?
good for you breezy.... its time to put your foot down, these people are looking for every excuse to finish you.
Never give up lil bro, hugs from all of us.
FAME in stores now
feel free to call him what ever all you abused shelter of thugs and hypocrites, but you are the dirtbags all along no Breezy. All you shameless Idiots always hoping for the worst. All hater would hate him without any excuse to anyway. You desperate fools thats opened accounts with gossip sites for hate reasons. So what always happens to your rotten heads when you find out you are wrong?!!! you still come back here to call him names?!
If the parking spot was assigned to him his buiding should have been responsible, and after the first ticket the issue should have been addressed. To all the people calling him names when have you made a mistake or have you been perfect all of your life? Give that young man a break.
Chris is innocent!
I don't know about the rest of you, but if that would have been my parking spot, I would have asked about it changing to a handicap one. Isn't that what a smart, responsible person would do? With having 22 other violations I'm pretty sure he didn't care care about following the law. Of course he is rich and famous so the laws don't apply to him.
Chris Brown is P.O.S...pretty plain and simple
I am NOT suprised that an L.A housing establishment would screww up a situation. If it was assigned, why did it take soo long to have these tickets removed?? Chris should've been WAAAY more pissed over this; but he was chill the whole time, and now people see he was right..AFTER paying the fees to get this situated. L.A county will do ANYTHING to take your money, ANYTHING. They don't care what's fair, what they say goes - they're like the mob.
why not stop talking about this trash? Take it out to your dumpster and flu*****.
still a douchebag
good for you CB!!!! and just keep ignoring all these broke haters here

I remember getting my test account for Wow, and was not really caring much for the game, although it was enjoyable. I accidentally stumbled upon a chest close to a few human mobs and totally fell in love with the game. No other MMO had this. I actually waited around for the chest to respawn 3 more times, even though nothing useful dropped, and would open any and every chest I would come upon during the game.

Earlier this month I laid out my hopes for the Giants training camp and pre-season schedule. To me job one was finally making it through the pre-season without losing any key players. Last night the Giants accomplished that job. No dings, no scary moments, and no serious injuries of any sort was the result last night. Sure there were a few moments the Giants would like to re-live from last night s game, but at least all the players will be back in the meeting rooms this week to discuss how to improve their play.

On Tuesday, August 20, 2013, Dr. Michael Baganizi, superintendent of Kisoro District Hospital and on-site program director for the Einstein-Doctors for Global Health Program, made his first visit to New York – which included a stop at the College of Medicine. Dr. Baganizi talked about the special program established in 2006, among his institution and Einstein, and its University Hospital, Montefiore Medical Center.
Three dozen Einstein medical students filled a conference room to overflowing as they listened to Dr. Baganizi describe the experiences available for first-year students in the summer before second year, and for fourth-year students during their elective time.
Each year, through global health fellowships, several Einstein medical students, and residents from Montefiore, travel to Uganda to take part in the program. The residents round on the wards and assist with care at the hospital with Dr. Jerry Paccione, professor of clinical medicine at Einstein and director of the global health medicine residency program at Montefiore; medical students assist with special projects identified by community members, Dr. Baganizi and his team of community workers.
Through the years, more than a dozen such projects have been undertaken; they have included establishing a nutrition education program, providing training for community health workers, and educating women about and providing screenings for cervical cancer.
"The students work on helping to address health needs that we feel can be fulfilled," noted Dr. Baganizi. "We want to be sure that we provide helpful information and resources without setting up unrealistic expectations. The students' contributions have been instrumental to their success."
"The projects truly make an impact," agreed Dr. Paccione. "In 2010, two former Einstein students – Eleanor Chung and Chava Kahn – received Lancet's most prestigious global award in community health for their efforts in establishing the first Women's Clinic and Cervical Cancer Screening Program in rural Uganda, work they performed as Einstein global health fellows."
For additional information on the Einstein-Doctors for Global Health Program, in Kisoro, or other global health opportunities, visit the Global Health Center website; or contact Jill Raufman, director of medical student global health programs and program manager of Einstein's Global Health Center.

Am I the only one who doesn't want any of them? is it the case of the bike needs them or the rider? and if its the later then why are they not offered as options instead of standards (hence pushing the price of new bikes through the roof).
i know the arguments for them, but as an experienced rider i still don't want them. i can't be alone? discuss

If you think you can ride an HP4 or Panigale on the road in a zone between the traction control activation point and the point of a crash, you're probably a danger to yourself and others.
Mostly, they have track settings fro track work which will far exceed the talents of a normal rider.
And ABS is mainly an option on most models

riding with the seat of yer pants, bollox to all thes fancy gizmos get it right and bikes are just sheer joy, get it wrong and oh deary me.
I guess my point is the same as yours?but with a different conclusion. realise your limitations and ride something more suitable to your skills ,but don't over stretch yourself horsepower wise and expect computers to save you
Despite the fact i can't afford (or want) either a Panigale or a HP4. neither do I need (or could use)190+ bhp on the road or a track without traction control so hence i ride 130bhp and have as much fun without needing a computer to save my arse!
my only experience of ABS was on an BMW back in the late 80's and to be honest it is was piss easy to lock up. more so than modern unassisted brakes. and yes it is an option atm but "Mr Eurocrat" wants to make it compulsary.

As with the four-wheeled world the addition of such devices can have safety benefits although they do often sanitise the driving / riding experience. We have all grown to accept such aids on cars and they are now getting more common on bikes. The good thing is, at the moment at least, we have some choice in what aids we have. Because I grew up on bikes made in the 70's I believe I have a better feel for what a bike is doing because my skills were developed riding bikes that didn't handle well on tyres that didn't grip - at least when compared to todays machines. I like the fact that my ealry riding experience has given me those skills but that doesn't mean that I do not want to take advantage of some modern technology.

Must admit I'd like to be
able to turn off the linked brakes for while and then back on again just to see
exactly what the difference their is between with and without.
Random thought just
wondering but….. What if you had a bike with all the gizmos and then moved back
to a bike without them I wonder if you could make a case for duty of care
against the gizmo bike manufacturer ie you did not retrain me to ride a manual
bike after your all signing and dancing bike therefore you have failed in your
duty of care.... bit like the cat in the microwave argument. Sorry going slowly

W ell and good when the bike is new. However 10 years down the line, these are all things that can start to go wrong and make buying older bikes unviable. I can only afford 10 year old bikes and want them as simple as possible. Besides, I'm quite able to handle the searing power of my FZS600 without all these aids: knowing I'm not immortal is all the rider aid I need.

"What's next?" is the perennially insistent question in information technology. One common observation about the industry holds that cycles of innovation alternate between hardware and software. New types and forms of hardware enable innovations in software that utilize the power of that hardware. These innovations create new markets, alter consumer behavior and change how work is performed. This, in turn, sets the stage for new types and forms of hardware that complement these emerging product and service markets as well as the new ways of performing work, creating products and fashioning services that they engender. For example, the emerging collection of wearable computing devices seems likely to generate a new wave of software/hardware innovation, as my colleague Mark Smith has noted. This said, I think that the idea of alternating cycles no longer applies. It would be convenient if we could assign discrete time periods to hardware dominance and software dominance, but like echoes as they fade, the reverberations are no longer as neatly synchronized as they once were. Moreover, adoption and adaptation of technology by consumers reflected in the design of work, products and services always lags – and lags in different ways, further blurring the timing of cycles.
Adding to the messiness, technologies enter the market and evolve in ways that seem designed to embarrass pundits. In the 1990s, Bluetooth was supposed to be the next big thing for wireless connections; Wi-Fi wasn't on most radar screens. Today, Bluetooth has an important role, but Wi-Fi is bigger. Some heralded technology breakthroughs sink without a trace. Sadly, that has been the case for multidimensional spreadsheets like Javelin and Lotus Improv. Other technologies appear, are used in trendy ways and then become mainstream. Instant messaging and chat immediately replaced passing paper notes in class for teenage girls. While somewhat passé in this role today, they have become an essential tool in the workplace. Of course the rate at which technology is incorporated into mainstream business use varies greatly. The Internet became central to business and commerce at an astonishingly fast pace while earlier inventions such as voice mail took about a decade to become universal.
Software has dominated as a driver over the past two decades, but devices and business process changes have become increasingly important in amplifying the impact and producing knock-on effects that spur innovations of all sorts. Smartphones and other mobile devices might have become another Minitel except that there were programming tools and business models in place (including the absence of top-down control and regulation) that spurred ingenuity, substantially enhancing the value of these devices and making them highly adaptable to personal preferences and individual business needs. Rapid and broad adoption of mobile devices has been driving change in business software to enable companies to utilize the value of these devices. Yet there are plenty of examples of how organizations have failed to change how they conduct business. Our benchmark research finds that companies have been slow to adopt better methods facilitated by information technology for planning and budgeting, closing the books, managing the workforces or handling customer interactions. Software-driven change will come in these areas over the next decade, driven in part by a generational shift as baby boomers retire, and more attention will be paid to cognitive ergonomics and the resulting increased attention to the design of the user experience in business computing, such as gamification.
Innovation in business often takes longer to appear than futurists hope. One part of today's answer to the "What's next?" question includes all the things that software marketing departments have been promising over the past decade or so that haven't come to pass yet. Usually, this is because there is some confusion on the part of vendors between "easier" and "easy." Many innovations and enhancements in business software have made them easier to use but not easy enough for mainstream adoption or easy enough to spur process innovation or a change in management practices. One example is advanced analytics. There have been steady improvements making it possible for many kinds of users to employ them in business, but most users today require advanced degrees or specialized training (although I have some hope for new mass market tools on the horizon). Consequently, our research finds that two-thirds of companies make little or no use of advanced analytics.
Another example is in business planning. For all the discussion about changing budgeting and planning, practices have remained pretty much the same over the past two decades. One way to make planning and budgeting more useful is to make reviewing results more actionable. This could be accomplished more easily if organizations could immediately drill down into the details of the results rather than having to wait for follow-up information or debate what the likely causes might have been. Yet only about one-fourth of participants in our business planning research are able to get to the numbers behind the numbers while the meeting is under way. Improved software technology is making this easier to do. For example, many ERP vendors have changed the basic architecture of their systems to make them capable of handling transaction processing and analytical tasks at the same time. But technology alone will not make a difference. It will take a change in management and demand that periodic reviews be highly interactive to make a difference.
Even with hidebound management techniques, it's likely that new devices coming to the market will be major sources of innovation, either those that complement existing business practices and consumer demands (which are obvious candidates for rapid adoption) or as a speculative venture. The loudest buzz is around the Internet of Things. This is an amorphous concept at the moment, and there are considerable technology hurdles that must surmounted for it to become practical (notably the limited address capacity in the IPv4 standard). Still, the concept has a good deal of theoretical appeal when one extrapolates the value already realized by increasing the scope of people-to-machine connections (such as for monitoring processes or the health of devices) and the variety and number of machine-to-machine control and instrumentation (for example, automatically tracking physical assets and optimizing machine performance by monitoring conditions).
As I mentioned earlier, wearable computing is another emerging area of innovation. Thus far, it has had more allure than demand, but that was true also for the personal digital assistant, which had a few notable flops before catching on and becoming a mass-market device, eventually to be subsumed into the smartphone. Devices are already being worn for health, entertainment and augmented reality purposes. Bracelets, fobs and glasses have considerable scope for use in business settings, for consumer applications and for wellness. Glasses and wrist devices in particular have the ability to augment the utility of any computing device as sensors or for input/output. A computer screen is rather like a keyhole through which one "looks" into the computing device. Dual screens are now commonplace because this expands the breadth of view of the user. Glasses can broaden the scope of view considerably more, improving the ergonomics and expanding the utility of any computing device. Any of these devices could augment the capabilities of software applications. They will give software designers added scope to enhance the capabilities and usability of applications.
So the answer to "What's next?" in business computing probably is " A lot – and sooner rather than later." There's a tendency to view current technology in terms of the major advances of the past. If that is any guide, today's information technology will soon appear pitifully primitive. Consumer use of technology has outstripped that of business, in part because multiple individual needs are generally less difficult to serve than that of an organization and the tasks the technology performs usually are far less complex: They're apps, not applications. Yet business computing is on the cusp of a fundamental shift in which devices and software are powerful enough to adapt to the needs of users. In the past, business computing was defined by the limits of information technology and required that businesses adapt to those limitations. Everything from a richer and more enjoyable (or at least less painful) user experience to the transformation of accounting systems from paper-based analogs to a truly digital ledger has the power to change for the better how businesses operate.

One of the charitable causes to which I devote time puts on an annual vintage car show. The Concours d'Élegance dates back to 17th century France, when wealthy aristocrats gathered with judges on a field to determine who had the best carriages and the most beautiful horsepower. Our event serves as the centerpiece of a broader mission to raise money for several charitable organizations. One of my roles is to keep track of the cars entered in the show, and in that capacity I designed an online registration system. I've been struck by how my experiences with a simple IT system have been a microcosm of the issues that people encounter in designing, administering and using far more sophisticated ones. My most important take-away from this year's event is the importance of self-service reporting. I suspect that most senior corporate executives – especially those in Finance – fail to appreciate the value of self-service reporting. It frees up the considerable resources organizations collectively waste on unproductive work, and it increases responsiveness and agility of the company as a whole.
Electronic reporting began as a solution to paper print-outs, reducing the resources required to transmit information needed by individuals and making it easier for them to find information. Over the past couple of decades, these enterprise reports also have become much easier for IT professionals to create and maintain, but they are still time-consuming and aren't particularly flexible. Rather than have their IT department create another version of a report, people often copy an electronic report, paste it into a spreadsheet, reconfigure the information to suit their needs and distribute the modified spreadsheet to a group of people. For this and other reasons IT departments have found it difficult to get business people to stop using spreadsheets. Our benchmark research on spreadsheets finds this is the number-one impediment to change. Spreadsheet users value control and flexibility. This is precisely what self-service reporting delivers without the time-consuming hassle of manually creating and distributing spreadsheet reports.
It's useful to think of self-service reporting as an attitude and approach to using information technology than as a specific software product or category. It starts with the basic assumption that individuals in organizations must be able to retrieve information they need from the systems they use. This does not replace periodic enterprise reporting, dashboards, scorecards and other such "push" communication methods. This is not the once-voguish concept of "democratizing business intelligence" either; that was still too complicated for the vast majority of users. It's more like replacing telephone operators with a direct dial system. (Note to readers under 40 years old: Once upon a time it required human intervention to connect your phone to someone else's.) The goal of self-service reporting is to make broad sets of data readily available and give people the ability to access it (subject to permissions) as well as easily organize and display it in the form and format that works best for them.
In the early days of business computing, simply collecting and having access to company data was a breakthrough. Over the past decades, corporations automated and instrumented a broad range of functions, and the challenge lay in collecting and managing the data. Although companies still face many issues in data management, devolving reporting to the individual is now a critical issue companies must address. Well-designed self-service reporting improves the productivity of individuals in both IT and the rest of the organization. The controller of a midsize company recently told me people had been spending one-and-a-half days per month creating reports for senior executives and operating managers after the monthly and quarterly accounting close. Talk about unproductive use of resources! This is an extreme example but emblematic of time routinely wasted on something individuals ought be able to do on their own. From the IT side, far too much time is devoted to creating and maintaining reports – it's akin to still having switchboard operators on staff to route calls.
Self-service reporting exists both as a feature of enterprise applications and in stand-alone products designed to work with applications that lack this capability. In deciding whether to replace existing software and in any vendor selection process, it's important to assess benefits of self-service reporting capabilities. This is especially true as mobility increasingly is built into enterprise business applications. Anytime, anywhere access to information is one of the most important reasons why companies invest in mobility and demand this capability in the software they buy. Being able to drill down and around in the data contained in such reports provides a powerful incentive to replace spreadsheets. But there are also stand-alone products that can provide self-service reporting capabilities within legacy systems.
For our service organization this past year I still created a limited number of spreadsheets for individuals and groups that are not on our system. The only data issues we had were created when someone copied and pasted information from our reports into another spreadsheet. Errors are inevitable, and even in our local event there are unfortunate consequences when they occur. For example, telling someone who has just spent hundreds of hours preparing his or her car that the vehicle is not eligible for an award because it was not on the list of judged cars (even though our system showed that it was supposed to be judged) provokes the same level of irate response one might expect when a CFO is informed that there's a material error in the published financial statements.
Self-service reporting is fast becoming a standard capability within businesses. It's part of a generational change that is redefining corporate computing. People beyond a certain age still expect information to be given to them. Younger people want to get the information they need themselves and expect to have the ability to do so. IT departments must identify opportunities to offer self-service reporting and implement it wherever possible. Business users – especially those in finance roles – should familiarize themselves with self-service reporting – especially stand-alone tools that they can use and administer – and implement it wherever it is feasible.

Albany-- The stately landmark was reduced to rubble by demolition crews.
It's a sad sight, especially for those of us who have fond childhood memories of Radium Casino. The memories of weddings, parties, and celebrations held at the Radium Springs Casino will linger, but the structure is now rubble.
The three man demolition crew started work around 9:00AM, and in less than two hours, most of the Radium Springs Casino was flattened.
County Administrator Richard Crowdis and his staff made one final sweep inside the Casino, before the demolition started in a driving rainstorm.
Development Services Manager Tracy Hester said "It sort of fits the mood of the community and the people who love this building, I think."
The Casino was built in 1925, beside one of the great natural wonders of Georgia, Radium Springs. It was one of the hot spots for Albany's social life for decades.
Jesse Greathouse of Dove Management, the demolition company said "This is going good. It's coming down like toothpicks. Crushing up."
The casino withstood it all, fire and flood. The building burned in 1982, but was rebuilt, only to be flooded in 1994 and 1998. The building, owned at the time by Gayle Manley was sold to FEMA as part of the flood buyout program and that meant it had to come down.
When the demolition crew started this morning, someone called the Police to try and stop the work.
Greathouse said "Somebody called the law on us. Said we were loitering, standing around. Stopped right over there. We said we were working. They laughed and went on about their business."
Scores of people tried to save the Casino building. But as it was knocked down in pouring rain, there were very few people there to witness it's final moments. An historic landmark structure, now a pile of rubble headed for the landfill.
Parts of the Casino like the inside paneling, windows, and doors were salvaged before the building was torn down. They will be used in the new RiverCenter Hotel.

The Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas at the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks will host the third annual Greater Lehigh Valley Filmmaker Festival (GLVFF) from October 31st through November 2nd. Fifteen different films, in addition to two web series, will be showcased over the course of five screening blocks. Admission for each block is $5/$4 ArtsQuest members. Tickets are available at www.artsquest.org/film or by calling 610-332-3378. They will also be available at the ArtsQuest Center Box Office.
The 2013 GLVFF will be capped on Saturday, November 2nd, with a screening of Allentown-raised director (and 2013 GLVFF jury member) Ishai Setton's 3 Days of Normal at 8:45. The screening will be immediately followed by a Q&A with Setton, and then the announcement of the 2013 GLVFF award winners. The 3 Days of Normal screening is free to the public.
Awards will be handed out in the following categories: Best Feature, Best Documentary, Best Web Series, Best Short (15-50min), and Best Short (<15min).
The schedule for the festival is as follows (*denotes a film in competition) – the films are not necessarily listed in the order that they will screen that night:
Quick Shop – Martin Binder (Macungie) – 13min.
In competition (Best Short <15min.)
Hunter and Trevor are new roommates at college. After a falling out over a girl, Trevor talks Hunter into going to his hometown for a weekend in the country. Things take a turn for the worse when they stop at a Quick Shop to go to the bathroom, and proceed to get locked in the store and stalked by the shopkeeper.
The Flighty Ducks: The Poker Sketch – Dan Maher (Bethlehem) – 2min.
In competition (Best Web Series)
Matt has a gambling problem.
Cult Life – Spencer Snygg (Allentown) – 105min.
"Cult Life" is a documentary about why people join cults. It explores the methods that cults use for brainwashing while at the same time showing that these same techniques are used by more traditional organizations. And the results are just as damaging. We follow the lives of someone who joins a cult, someone who joins the catholic seminary, and someone who joins the military and see how their lives run parallel to each other. By seeing these techniques, and seeing how they affect our subjects, hopefully you will be able to defend yourself if put in the same position.
So Pretty to Look At – Chuck Gloman (Center Valley) – 5min.
In 1918 a photographer falls in love with his subject - but beauty is not skin deep.
Shark Week Follies: 'Twas the Night Before Shark Week – Marie Guglielmo (Allentown) – 2min.
In competition (Best Web Series)
Christmas has been celebrated for centuries, but a competing holiday is catching up in our hearts - Shark Week celebrated its 25th year this year (2013). To help this newest secular holiday along, I have composed Shark Week carols to help all experience the wonder of the Shark Week. "'Twas the Night Before Shark Week" is inspired by Clement Moore's classic poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas". In this case, it's a visit from Great White and the narration is performed by Peter Baker, a BBC announcer.
The Backyard Philly Project – Amanda Danziger (Allentown) – 64min.
In competition (Best Feature & Best Documentary)
The Backyard Philly Project delves into the lives of four teens growing up in the inner city neighborhood of Penn Town. It shows how their involvement with The Helping Hand Rescue Mission has given them hope for a better life though tutoring and other character building activates aimed at the neighborhood's youth. Filming began in October 2011 and concluded in June 2012 and consists partly of video shot by the teens.
Corporeality – Lauren Hank (Quakertown) – 4min.
An experimental study of the body and its relationship to both perception and the mundane world, corporeality is the second short film by Lauren Hank.
Empty Cups – James McCullian (Bethlehem) – 17min.
Empty Cups is a short film that chronicles the inner monologue of Jace, a college student, who comes home over an extended break from school and attends a party with his old high school clique from which he has grown estranged. His reasoning behind still hanging out with these individuals and maintain some sort of contact is for the simple convenience of not having to make new friends at home. Throughout the film, however, Jace realizes that everyone he once considered a "close" friend is now the polar opposite of who they once were. Jace's journey throughout "empty cups" illustrates his transformation from a humble party-goer into a proud narcissist as he convinces himself that he is in fact better than that.
The Flighty Ducks: Parking Meter Payment Center – Dan Maher (Bethlehem) – 2min.

Three incidents involving ineffective generic drugs recently occurred in my life.
Incident #1:
After taking Zoloft for years I switched, without problem, to the generic Sertraline carried by my local pharmacy. Then, in an effort to economize, I ordered my prescription through a popular mail-delivery system which sent Sertraline manufactured by yet another company. Within a month my depression…

Based on the last two versions of my bible, I've concluded the author of Proverbs must have been a man. Or at least the person who translated it was…
A new acquaintance recently quoted one Proverb in particular: "Better to live on the corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife." –Proverbs 21:9
He said it in a half-hearted joking manner while we discussed various issues going on in our lives.
At the time, I simply laughed it off, but truthfully, it bugged me. Why is it always assumed that the woman is the problem? I mean, isn't it possible that her husband is reason behind her unpleasant attitude?
It is tough to be in the position of living and working with your spouse. While it definitely has advantages, certain problems pop up on a regular basis. When spending so much time together, it's easy to lose your temper and unload on each other in a way that you wouldn't dream of doing with a normal coworker. We never seem to be able to leave the office behind at the end of the workday; we're always open for business. And I've found our expectations of each other are significantly greater than what we have for regular colleagues; when one of us disagrees with the other, it's not a pretty sight.
Sometimes I think about the way things used to be and it makes me wonder if we would be working together in this way had the great sorrow not eclipsed our world… Would we be willing or able to tolerate being together so much?
I know it crosses John's mind too… When we have a major meltdown moment-as in verbal daggers hurtling between us at terminal velocity-I question the wisdom of continuing down this path.
But I don't know what else to do; it's what I'm trained for. I've followed his lead for more than a decade, working with and supporting him in his endeavors and chosen field.
It's a bit frightening to think about finding a new career…again…but for the sake of our relationship, clearly it's something we need to discuss and consider more seriously.
Maybe there is such a thing as too much togetherness…

But where can you go to really drive the thing? Nowhere, of course-or more accurately, the middle of it. The California high desert seems ideal with its lonely mountain roads and long, wind-swept stretches.
Equipped as it is with the massive Aeropak wing, the SV, according to Lamborghini, is capable of a mere 209-mph top speed. Without the wing it'll supposedly top out at 212, but without the downforce afforded by this rear accoutrement, could squirm a little at that velocity. Frightening stuff.
At lower velocities the steering, in spite of power assistance, is ponderous and massively deliberate. At speeds under 25 mph the thing handles like a battleship-and wearing this paint it comes dressed appropriately. Flipping three- and four-point turns on gravel-strewn desert roads for impatiently screaming photographers is likely to inflame your carpal-tunnel.
At speed, the ratios tighten up considerably to offer seemingly clairvoyant levels of response. Mere millimeters of steering angle and the vehicle tracks. On long-sweeping sections or mildly decreasing-radius 'pins, the SV tracks like a slot car. I mean, there's no possible way you'd be able to lose it, right? It feels like the road itself would sooner lose traction on the Earth's crust, the Lambo's 335-width rear Pirelli Rossos flinging ribbons of tarmac into the desert as the SV snarls cartoonishly toward an unmoving horizon.
On tighter roads the proposition becomes more frightening, mainly due to the Murci's supersized sports car footprint. It's got more or less the same front and rear track as a Porsche Cayenne SUV with a little less wheelbase, and much, much lower to the ground.
Whatever the case, you're having a hard time thinking of a more convincing supercar. A bit slower maybe, but the SV is still more visually convincing than the hamloaf styling of a Bugatti Veyron. The Koenigseggs or Paganis of the world might offer comparable performance-but what do we see, a handful of those every year? This SV is one of 350 to be built. And anyway, it's a Lambo. It's got staying power.
Dipping now into the basin that holds the greater metro area surrounding Los Angeles, you dip into the throttle a little bit deeper. In sixth gear, acceleration is languid but builds steadily, the thrumming of the engine peaking to a long-winded roar that rises exponentially in pitch.
Out of nowhere, a nondescript Japanese sedan pulls up alongside you. Dad, sitting in the front seat, recognizes the silhouette and points excitedly. A small, wide-eyed face peers out the back window, nose pressed against the glass.
You've been pretty good today, you think. Karma should be back on your side after showing so much restraint. May as well give the kid a show.
Extending two fingers on your left hand, you give the column-mounted carbon shift paddle a rapid click click click. The gearbox instantly shifts down three gears and the engine screams. Hard in the throttle, you watch the tach needle spike past 5000 rpm and whip toward redline with a sound like the sky tearing open. Your head hits the Alcantara headrest, you upshift, then upshift again as the SV leaps two, six, twelve car lengths ahead and disappears into the night.
It's only later that you realize the poor kid will probably never be the same. Your work today is done.

Brad Moore
Rose Room
Orange County, Tustin, California
Although topographic photographs are of the landscape, I have found that the subject matter is of man made objects and the colours within them are usually sterile whites, greys and blues, with the occasional pop of vibrant colour. This image by Brad Moore is the complete polar opposite and has an earthy pallet. Seeing so much green in a colour photograph is rather strange compared to my previous research, but is rather refreshing.
The perspective and depth of this photograph is beautiful and I would probably not of thought about capturing something diagonally.

87 of 90 (96%) reviewers would recommend this product to a friend
Pros: Quiet, Easy to use, Good build quality, Value for money, appealing and clean to the eye, larger inside than my previous oven
Cons: it could do with another oven shelf
"We were governed by the size of our old oven and we were pleased when we found this oven which virtually looked the same and measured perfectly. I am even more pleased with the cooking results; All results are very good, Christmas dinner was cooked to a 'T' including the baked ham. My only bugbare so far is the internal glass door seal, which appears to be 'floating' in one corner inbetween the double glazed glass panel inside the oven. I must tell the manufacturer about this, but it is not affecting the cooking results and so I haven't rushed to get it sorted."

Pros: Easy to use, Value for money, looks good
Cons: none
"My last oven was only a single oven and grill. With five of us in the house we really needed a double oven. This Indesit one has really lived up to expectations. It cooks evenly in both ovens. The grill in the top oven cooks evenly and quickly. The self clean sides in the ovens are a real bonus. The digital timer is useful. The internal glass panel on the main oven is easy to remove for cleaning.
As it's A rated on both ovens, it has all the features of other more expensive ovens at a fantastic price."

Pros: Value for money, Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet, looks good, spacious and easy to clean
"In need of more oven space and having been let down in the past by mistakenly assuming that expensive equals quality I set out with different criteria and an open mind to research the lower end of the market for a practical, smart, spacious, easy to clean and good value double oven. I haven't been disappointed. It has a very clear clock/timer and straightforward controls. The grill works on one or both sides and is immediately responsive. Both ovens are very efficient and cook evenly. There is no discoloration around the door when used on maximum heat and it is very easy to clean.
I'm as pleased as punch and could easily have paid twice the price for the performance. A valuable lesson well learned and to be used when purchasing future kitchen replacements."

Great build quality, simple to use and reliable.
Very minor negative: grill is a bit slow warming up (most electrics are).
We did alot of research and nothing came close for a branded product at this price.

This built in double oven has everything a household needs to cook any meal to perfection. Two fan ovens, with a combined 100 litre capacity, give enough space to handle large family meals. The twin variable grill heats up in seconds, and can be set to use only half the elements for smaller meals, saving you energy and money!
The built in programmable timer helps to make sure nothing is left to chance, and the sturdy, double-glazed windows allow you to keep an eye on those trickier meals.
With an efficient A/A energy rating, it keeps operating costs down, and a 1 year warranty as standard adds extra peace of mind.
The model comes with stay clean liners, to help reduce time spent cleaning and give you more time to cook!

Ok, I just got a 91 legacy L awd wagon ... its my first subaru. I like the car, much more than I thought I would.
So I have had it about 2 weeks and it has become my daily driver. It has 200, 7XX miles and is an automatic.
Last night, I was making a u-turn on a tight street, when backing up, the engine reved, and there was a loud clunk. I put it into drive and it acts like its only front wheel drive (wheel spin) and it also acts like there is little to no transmission fluid ... more specifically, it does not want to shift, high revs etc.
This afternoon I took it to jiffy lube and had all the fluids topped off, oil change etc ... they said trans fluid was full, diff oil full etc. the problem still is present.
So, I tried to search for an answer, but no one has described this problem (that I have found) most common was binding ... since I dont have any prior subaru experience, I am not sure if I had binding prior to this problem.
Does anyone have any idea what might cause this and how to fix it? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

The new Adobe campus in Lehi, Utah, USA, is a monster of an office building, but they did pretty well in using the gigantic space in an interesting, colourful way:
We were able to commission a variety of artists, including Mike Giant and El Mac, who created a 75-foot spray paint mural. We also had floor-to-ceiling swatches from Pantone to add color. It was a unique opportunity to engage customers of the brand to help design the space, and throughout the space you can see how Adobe's products empower artists to express their creativity. (…)
The Atrium links every workplace and amenity, one to the other, while connecting to the landforms and landscapes that define the site. Emblematic of Adobe's commitment to transparency and connection, the Atrium acts as an all-hands space, town center, festival area, and place of quiet reflection with views of the mountains to the South. Spaces for work, play, exercise and eating are arranged strategically around the Atrium to facilitate interaction and a strong sense of community.

Lots of impressive new photos and some really interesting details on the new Facebook campus are emerging. As Office Snapshots reports:
All employee workstations are equipped with manually height-adjustable desks by default, and mechanically adjustable ones upon request. Herman Miller's classic Aeron chairs provide the majority of seating. Even Mark Zuckerberg, the company's CEO, is located at one of the open plan workstations provided for all employees. He does, however, get the added benefit of a personal conference room. (…)
One aspect of the campus I was struck by was the degree to which self-expression was built into company culture. Facebook has an artist in residency program that gives an outlet for new artists to contribute pieces. Employees are also encouraged to create their own art, and have also been provided numerous walls which allow them to scrawl messages to one another.

If you are a fan of the combination of wood, leather and technology, it's very likely that you'll instantly fall in love with the UBIQUITOUS office. Now excuse me, I'm off to find whisky and a cigar…
Office Snapshots writes: "Quicken Loans has moved 6000 team members to Downtown Detroit since August 2010. The goal? To revitalize Detroit into a vibrant and energetic tech hub. The company has purchased a total of nine buildings, which each have a different look and feel. But for the purposes of today's tour, we get to see three – The M@dison Building, The Chase Building, and the Compuware Building:"
I was surprised to see such a "boring" product/company being quite innovative when it comes to their workplace. And I had no idea they employ a workforce of more than 6000 people! My favourite part has to be the basketball court:

Sophomore Eric Jackson admits he didn't understand the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. But he was only a fourth-grader.
He does remember it being a beautiful, sunny day. He remembers where he was at in Humann Elementary School in Lincoln. And he even remembers seeing Air Force One flying over and being escorted by two fighter jets.
"I wasn't really able to comprehend the whole situation," said Jackson.
Ten years later, Jackson — along with other students his age — has a better understanding.
Jackson is also one of 18 students this semester enrolled in Political Science 190: Terrorism. The course — taught by retired naval captain Randy Bowdish — is a general introduction to insurgency and terrorism. Students learn about terrorist ideology, funding operations and counterterrorism.
Their assignment in honor of the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks was to research a victim of the attacks and give a poster presentation to the Nebraska Wesleyan University community.
"September 11th has defined this generation much like Vietnam, the Kennedy assassination and the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion did prior generations," said Bowdish. "It's important for students to understand the victims and their loss to society."
Jackson selected victim Jose Orlando Calderon Olmedo.
"I feel that 9/11 is more attributed as a Caucasian attack but we must not forget the minorities affected as well," said Jackson.
NWU sophomore Laural Wagner was also a fourth-grader at the time of the attacks. She researched and presented on Lisa Frost, a passenger on United Airlines flight 175, which crashed into the second World Trade Center tower.
"It's a very sad thing to do," Wagner said of her research project. "But it needs to be done to honor the victims."
Among her findings is the heartache it caused Frost's parents. Her parents separated, her mother suffers from depression and she nearly drowned on Mother's Day last spring.
"They called it the 'Mothers Day Miracle'," said Wagner. "She was found minutes before the accident would have been fatal. I truly think it was a miracle."
Wagner admits as a fourth-grader that she was also very confused on September 11, 2001. She thought terrorists and tourists were the same thing.
She also admits the tragedy is much more emotional for her now.
"I know so much more now," she said. "It really impacted me with all of the anniversary programs on TV. That's when reality really set in for me."
One poster presentation was especially poignant for Bowdish. One of his students researched Gerald DeConto, a personal friend of Bowdish who died when the Pentagon was attacked. Bowdish — who happened to be on leave that day — had started working at the Pentagon with the Joint Chiefs of Staff on September 1, 2001.
"We were supposed to have lunch that next week," Bowdish said of his friend.
Bowdish still carries his friend's photo as a reminder and has since dedicated two textbook chapters on terrorism in DeConto's honor.
Bowdish said it's important to educate students about that terrible day.
"Targeting innocent people is a barbaric type of solution and we really need to put a cap on that and stop it the best we can," he said. "The best way to do that is educate people."
"These students are studying abroad more and have a greater interest in international relations," Bowdish added. "It's my hope that they can pass that education along to others and help put an end to terrorism."
The value of these student endeavors is very impressive. To personalize 9/11 in this way makes each of us more vulnerable to terrorism as we realize the victims were just regular Americans living their lives, just like we are.
Thank you for giving us cause to remember in such a personal way...

Migraines & Headaches Health Center
Identifying Food Triggers for Migraines
Identifying Your Personal Food Triggers continued...
To minimize migraines, Loder recommends limiting caffeine to 200 milligrams a day. That's about the amount found in 8 ounces of coffee or four 12-ounce cans of cola.
If you take caffeine in excess, reduce the amount by a little every day. Don't quit caffeine cold turkey. If you do, you may end up with nagging head pain known as a rebound headache.
Chocolate. Chocolate cravings sometimes intensify with stress and hormonal changes, two strong migraine triggers. Women may blame chocolate for their migraines. But chocolate cravings could be a sign that a headache is on its way, and not a headache-starter.
"Chocolate doesn't appear to play a significant role in triggering migraine headaches," Marcus says.
Marcus led a study of women who suffer from migraine or tension-type headaches. The women ate chocolate or carob, a chocolate substitute. The researchers concluded that chocolate is no more likely to provoke migraines than carob.
Tyramine and tannins. Foods with high levels of tyramine and tannins, two naturally occurring food compounds, may set off your migraine. But the scientific evidence backing them up as migraine-starters is not recent and is considered weak.
Tyramine is found in:
- Red wine
- Beer
- Avocados
- Overripe bananas
- Aged cheeses
- Pork
- Soy-based foods
- Certain processed meats
- Nuts
- Chocolate
Tannins are abundant in:
- Coffee
- Tea
- Chocolate
- Red wine
- Apple juice
Food additives and artificial sweeteners. Aspartame, an artificial sweetener, has been blamed for migraine headaches. The same goes for food additives, including nitrates in processed meats and monosodium glutamate (MSG). But the scientific evidence for a link isn't conclusive.
It's natural to want to control migraines as much as possible. But when it comes to food, people can become needlessly stressed about what to avoid, Marcus cautions.
Loder agrees: "Controlling your diet is an appealing way to feel like you're helping your headaches. But try not to be overly concerned about food."
Minimize Migraines With a Healthy Lifestyle
Regular meals and snacks help to minimize migraines. Loder notes that in studies of large groups of migraine patients, half said that going long periods without food, sometimes as little as five hours, triggered headaches.
Body weight plays a role in the frequency and severity of headaches, too.
There's no evidence that being overweight causes migraine headaches. But overweight and obese people have more frequent migraines that are more painful than migraines in people whose weight is in the healthy range.
It's a good idea for migraine patients to not smoke and not drink alcohol -- or drink alcohol in moderation. It's also important to get regular physical activity, follow a balanced diet, and achieve and maintain a healthy weight. That's because people with migraine have a higher risk for other health problems.
Migraine with aura approximately doubles the risk for stroke in women as compared to aura-free migraines and having no migraine at all.

In our last blog post, we looked at the world of Japanese giant monsters, the daikaiju. But Japanese pop culture has had an equally long love affair with giant robots. Unlike the daikaiju, which mostly feature in live-action tokusatsu, giant robots are also a mainstay of manga and anime. And, as we've seen with daikaiju, what starts in Japanese pop culture often finds its way into American pop culture as well.

Get an Olympic Workout
By Courtney Dunlop
Photo Credit: Technotr/iStock
THE EXPERT: Haley Johnson, 28
The biathlon event cross-country skiing sprints plus rounds of shooting at a target is so physically and mentally demanding that racers often collapse the moment after they cross the finish line. "What's unique about biathlon is you use your entire body," says Johnson. And that includes your brain: "Biathlon involves two completely different sports, and training your mind helps you combine the two."
WOW FACTOR: Johnson is a member of the 2008 and 2009 World Championship Team.
WANNA TRY IT? Johnson welcomes anyone who wants to challenge herself with biathlon even if it's a different version (e.g., running/shooting). "It's really exhilarating when you can combine two sports together in a race," she says.
PRO MOVES: Every muscle in a biathlon racer's core has to be solid with strength to hold the arms and legs in perfect form, whether she's going downhill or shooting a target. Johnson found a killer move that even hits those tough-to-target lower ab muscles: Lie flat on your back with your legs straight, hands under your hips. Using your abs, keep your back from arching and slowly lift your legs 2 to 3 inches off the ground. Hold as long as you can without clenching your thigh muscles, even if it's only for one second.

Companies can insure against cybercrime.
Thursday - 12/8/2011, 8:29am EST
Private companies can insure their cyber networks against crime. The Chubb Group of Insurance Companies is adding cybersecurity insurance to its portfolio, according to InsuranceNewsNet. The company says the new cyber coverage will help protect private companies against damages and liability if they're ever hacked. CyberSecurity insurance is a growing trend in the private sector. It is sometimes included with larger business-risk insurance policies.

A Fort Mill man who was arrested earlier this week after he was found walking naked inside the Walmart in Tega Cay. WBTV has learned it was not his first naked run in with police.
Kevin Hughes, 36, was charged with public disorderly conduct on Wednesday, according to the Tega Cay Police Department.
Employees spotted Hughes walking in the health and beauty section of the store, wearing only a pair of black tennis shoes.
When police arrived he had made his way over to the electronics, according to the report.
When he was escorted out of the store by police for questioning he told them the last he remembered was being as his sister's house in bed asleep.
The next thing he knew he woke up naked in his truck in the Walmart parking lot, according to the report.
Hughes told police he went inside the store to buy some clothes.
Officers allowed Hughes to put on a pair of shorts before he was arrested.
This isn't Hughes first time being caught by law enforcement naked in public.
In December 2012, Hughes was seen by two female joggers while running along Gold Hill Road, near the KOA campgrounds, wearing only shoes.
During the nude jog, York County Sheriff's deputies say Hughes knocked on the back window of a home along Citron Avenue and asked for a pair of shorts.
K-9 units were called out and found Hughes wearing a red sweat top and plaid pants.
At the time, deputies noted that Hughes "appeared to be high on some form of narcotics."
Hughes' sister told deputies that "she was not surprised of his behavior" saying that he has a severe drug problem.
