United States have improved by the ton since then, having bulldozed over minnows and fought valiantly against bigger opponents. Nonetheless, there is plenty to worry about for Klinsmann as United States head for another match against Mexico. The last time United States were only 19-1 at shot on goals. They were also outmatched on corner kicks by 15-2. Open play recorded a similar saga with stats of 20-8.
It seems like a long time ago that United States recorded such results, but the fear of an upset is still prevalent. In the 13 games United States have participated since the battle against Mexico in March they have netted 41 goals! Moreover, they have picked up the Gold Cup and can boast about a 2.53-gpg average in 2013. This is the best United States best form in over 100 years. Their 12-game winning streak means United States will be gunning for more glory.
United States picked up win over mediocre teams such as Belize, Cuba and El Salvador in the Gold Cup. These helped their FIFA ranks a lot, but rivaling impressively against teams such as 10th ranked Belgium (4-2 defeat), second-ranked Germany (4-3 victory) and 13th ranked Bosnia-Herzegovina (4-3 win) means United States had improved their rankings 19th by August. The new rankings, which will be announced on September 12, are expected to give United States a better stature.
The million-dollar question is whether Klinsmann and Co. can run United States into even better form or at least continue with the same. United States assistant coach Martin Vasquez, who is among the rare few to have represented both United States and Mexico, summarized the success his side has been enjoying in a recent news conference.
"Creating chances is the one thing we have to do better against Mexico," Vasquez said. "We'll take the same tight approach defensively, but if we put numbers in front of their goal every time and we get down the flank, we'll have opportunities to score."
Jozy Altidore is expected to become the cult-hero for United States again, but a closer look will show that Klinsmann's high-risk and high-reward system is what's been paying off. It destroyed the German's free-flowing football ideology and has improved statistic such as shots per game from 7.9 to 15.3.
"We are not here to defend or counter-break," Klinsmann says. "We want to play eye to eye with top teams."
This fearless approach is definitely something the American soccer fans have waited an eternity to see. It appears as if the future of soccer in the United States is heading towards a very bright future.

JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaskans know Valdez as the state's oil port of choice, but an independent Yukon oil producer is planning to make Skagway No. 2 on the list of Alaska oil ports.
Last week, Skagway Mayor Mark Schaefer announced that officials from Northern Cross Yukon are interested in using the port of Skagway to export crude oil to a refinery in Washington state.
Northern Cross, an independent oil producer with backing from Chinese state oil company CNOOC, has been investigating the Eagle Plains area along the Dempster Highway north of Dawson City for almost a decade.
KODIAK — The state of Alaska has picked the guiding hand behind its new Tustumena-class ferry.
Naval engineering firm Glosten and Associates of Seattle will guide the state as it plans a new oceangoing ferry to replace the 49-year-old ferry Tustumena. The news was announced this week at a meeting of the state's ferry advisory board in Anchorage.
"They're a very big, capable (firm) and they're going to start the process for us," Capt. John Falvey of the ferry system told the board.
KODIAK (AP) — Alaska's oldest licensed winery isn't old enough to drink, but it's just the right age to serve.
Alaskan Wilderness Wines, based on Shearwater Way in Kodiak, is turning 13 this year and proprietors Steve and Lisa Thomsen couldn't be happier.
"Wine, it gets better with age," Steve said.
Homemade fruit wine has a long tradition in Alaska and the state has had a licensing regulation for commercial wineries since at least 1993, but when the Thomsens began producing wine in 1999, they were the first in Alaska.
KODIAK (AP) — In May 2011, New York Times writer Ted O'Callahan traveled to Kodiak Island in search of an environmentally friendly way to see bears.
What he found was Kodiak Treks on Uyak Bay. Harry Dodge founded the lodge in 1995 and married Brigid in 1997. Today, the two run the lodge to provide a low-impact bear-watching experience.
KODIAK (AP) — Changes are brewing in Kodiak's downtown.
As soon as next month, longtime landmark store Cy's Sporting Goods could be replaced by the booming Kodiak Island Brewing Company.
"There's been steady, steady growth over the years in demand both on the retail side and on the wholesale side," said Ben Millstein, owner of the brewing company now on Shelikof Street. "There's parking issues, too, and kind of access issues and efficiency issues within the space. It just seemed like staying there might not be an option."
KODIAK (AP) — At one end of the city of Kodiak is a gala display — more than 10,000 lights synchronized with broadcast music by an automated computer program.
At the other end is another accomplishment of winter wonder, a 30-foot Christmas tree molded from recycled materials, standing tall in white light above Mission Beach.
Meet the wizards of winter.
Working separately, Dave Hilty and Andy Crawley have created two of the biggest displays on Kodiak Island this holiday season.
Crawley, whose display is on Otmeloi Way, started late.
KODIAK (AP) — In 1965, Ronald Sears came to Alaska for the first time.
Serving as a messman onboard a barge escort, he plowed the choppy ocean between Washington state and Whittier six times — seasick each time.
The experience was enough to make him swear off sailing for a while. More than a decade later, he arrived on Kodiak Island as his own boss, owner of freight company Southern Alaska Forwarding.
During the 31 years between Sears' 1979 arrival and today, Southern Alaska grew into one of the largest shipping companies on Kodiak Island.

DC Area Treat for Friends
We would like to treat some good friends to a very nice dinner:
- Not necessarily a fancy place, more into a small open kitchen type of place.......however money is not an issue
- They are avid wine drinkers connoisseurs, so the place needs to have a splendid wine list,
- DC/Bethesda/Chevy Chase
All suggestions are received!
Thanks in advance
re: jpschust
I second this recommendation. But I think they limit the number of people per table. How many are you treating?
And I haven't been so I don't know if it is small or open kitchen, but I have heard about Blue Duck Tavern's wine list. Supposed to be good. Can anybody else confirm this?
re: debit
I loved Blue Duck Tavern when I went...especially because it has a HUGE beautiful open kitchen. (You can request a table next to the kitchen itself)
There have been differing views of the cusine. But I personally had an excellent meal there from start to finish and a wonderful waiter. Perfect for whaty ou are looking for.
re: beets4dinner
Wow! It's interesting that a restaurant with so many oysters being eaten has such a impotent clientele!!! :) I think beet4dinner meant IMPORTANT! Unless he/she knows something about that restaurant that I don't know about.
re: BigEats
I'd say BigEats is right for the most special dinner in the area.
Wanted to also add Black Salt to the list.
re: BigEats
Umm...isn't the Laboratorio shuttered for now while the building on 21st is being renovated? Roberto Donna is encamped at Bebo in Crystal City, without the Laboratorio.
re: bordeauxfan
One of the best wine lists (and the best priced) in town is at Dino. It is huge, mainly Italian, and exceptionally well priced. You can get a good meal there, especially if you concentrate on the small plates and appetizers.
Corduroy has a very good list, especially Burgandies, and the cooking is fantastic.
Citronelle has a fantastic list, but expensive. The food is expensive but well worth it.
re: dinwiddie
I agree with dinwiddie in that Dino has one of the best winelists in town. It is obviously heavy on Italian wines, but it's also extremely well priced.
I will also pile on for the recommendation of Komi. We had a sparkling wine dinner there last year that was ridiculously good. And all but one of the suggested wine pairings were superb.
I'm going to back up the suggestions for Komi, Blue Duck Tavern and Citronelle. I'm also pretty sure that Labretorio de Galileo is closed for the time being.
re: Elyssa
Palena is excellent, front or back (I prefer the back but then it is much more expensive) but their wine list is only OK, not what I'd call good. It is not nearly on the par with the cooking, which is fantastic. I ususally bring wine and pay the corkage.
re: Elyssa
Palena is definitely worthy. Their kitchen is really tiny and you'll never see it. Not sure about their wine list. It used to be pretty small and thin, but I have heard it's improved. I generally BYOW there.
Have you thought about maybe trying Tosca? High end Italian. Try the Dover Sole if they have it. Unreal.

Dear Americans,
Ronald Reagan understood that the Constitution given us by our Founders was one that trusted the people to govern themselves.
Advertisement-content continues below
In his First Inaugural Address, Reagan said this:
From time to time, we have been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government of, by, and for the people. But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.
President Reagan said above: "the solutions must be equitable". But I feel a need to add one thing, and that is that the solutions must be anchored in our Constitution and founding principles.
He went on to say:
We hear much of special interest groups. Our concern must be for a special interest group that has been too long neglected. It knows no sectional boundaries or ethnic and racial divisions, and it crosses political party lines. It is made up of men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets, man our mines and our factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when we are sick—professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truck drivers. They are, in short, "We the people," this breed called Americans.
Ronald Reagan and our Founding Fathers believed in this thing I call the "Precinct Strategy;"… America managed through self-governance. Managed of the people, by the people, and for the people!
Advertisement-content continues below
My personal journey began November 2008 after having a conversation with my brother and a promise to him that I would investigate some way other than letter writing and protesting to make a difference. I have always resisted the notion that protesting, letter writing, and a vote for the lesser of two evils will accomplish the desired result. After months of searching and reading everything I could find in the realm of politics, I was at what I thought to be the end of my journey with no result. It was the spring of 2009 that I was given a document describing the precinct strategy. Moments after consuming that document, I knew I had the answer! The reality that Precinct Representatives have the authority to alter policy and endorsements hit me like a bolt of light. This was the answer for the millions of frustrated Americans.
You may be asking what is this "Precinct Strategy"? The Precinct Strategy is a phrase that was coined to simply give it a name, but in its working is the very essence of the American political system (even able to function exclusive of political parties.) It is my conviction that the Precinct Strategy is the only "long-term" and "permanent" solution for solving America's political despair.
While reading and researching our Founding Fathers, I discovered these words of Thomas Jefferson with special attention on the wards. ("Ward" and "Precinct" are synonymous)

May 3, 2000 (Washington) -- Many women may have yet another reason to rejoice. The FDA said Wednesday that it has approved UroMetrics Inc.'s Eros-CTD, the first treatment for female sexual dysfunction. The announcement follows recent reports from a urology meeting, indicating that the blockbuster male impotence drug Viagra also may perhaps offer some measure of sexual satisfaction for women.
But unlike Viagra, for which physicians already are offering some prescriptions, the Eros Clitoral Therapy Device has no potential side effects. In fact, the FDA approved the device under less stringent requirements than those usually applied to novel devices, because there were no side effects reported in the supporting study or any side effects suspected by the FDA reviewers, Sharon Stone, a FDA spokeswoman, tells WebMD.
The device is a small, soft, plastic cup that with a battery-operated pump increases blood flow to the vaginal area.
The approval was based upon a single study of 25 women, including 15 who had sexual dysfunction and 10 who did not; the 25 women used the device at home during six sexual encounters. The study tested for sensation, ability to achieve orgasm, sexual satisfaction, and lubrication.
According to the FDA analysis, all 15 women with sexual dysfunction experienced more sensation. Of those 15 women, seven also experienced more orgasms, 12 had more satisfaction, and 11 experienced more lubrication. The 10 women with normal sexual function all experienced more sensation; four also had more orgasms, two had more satisfaction, and three had more lubrication.
The concept also has been successfully applied in males, says Irwin Goldstein, MD, professor of urology at Boston University School of Medicine and one of the investigators. But further data are needed to determine its overall value for women, including whether increased blood flow makes a difference and how much vaginal lubrication actually is achieved, he tells WebMD.
In the meantime, Goldstein says, the class of patients most likely to benefit from this device appears to be women with sexual dysfunction who are interested in sex but unable to have orgasm. Pre-menopausal women with normal sexual functions are unlikely to see much of an advantage, he adds.
The device does appear to work much like Viagra, suggesting that it should have perhaps a similar effect, Ira Sharlip, MD, a urologist and partner at Pan Pacific Urology in San Francisco, tells WebMD. Viagra also appears to increase vaginal blood flow. Taken in context, Eros represents another treatment option, Sharlip says. But that is not to say that Eros is for everyone, he adds. Some men are highly resistant to using the penile pump used for impotence, and it is likely that some women also may find the concept disturbing. "I would leave it up to the patient's discretion," he tells WebMD.
Women with sexual dysfunction who would like to give it a try will be able to get one immediately, UroMetrics' spokeswoman Marlene Wesen tells WebMD. The prescription device is already available in Australia, France, and United Kingdom and will be sold in the U.S. for $359, she says.

FREQUENT RANDOM BSoDs
Hi Everyone,
i have built a new computer in the past 6 months and get frequent random BSoDs and it drives me nuts!! these are random and can happen under idle or while listeningto music, theres no one thing that triggers it, the errors are varied from MEMORY_MANAGMENT, BAD_POOL_HEADER, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EWUAL, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_AGED_ARE etc etc. and usually has NTOSKRNL as the driver causing it. I have tried a few things so far witch include
Swapping out GFX card, PSU, motherboard, Removed all other PCI cards, Reinstalled windows (a few times) Run 1 stick of ram untill it failed and the the other stick witch also failed, run memtest for about 30 passes with no errors, ran hard drive diagnostics and passed all tests, manually set ram timings (8-8-8-24) and voltage (1.5v)
MB - ASUS M4A79T Deluxe (has been replaced once)
CPU - AMD Phenom ii 965 BE (125w revision)
RAM - GSKILL ripjaws 4GB dual channel kit PC10666 DDR3
GFX- ATI Radeon 5850 ( also tried anvidia card)
HDDs - 2x samsung spinpoint 1TB F3s (tried installing OS on both)
OS- Microsoft Windows 7 Professional x64
PSU- Antec TruePower TP-650 650W ATX Power Supply Unit
Next step - I am going to try an IDE hard drive on a fresh install of windows (again sigh) and manually set the Vcore voltage
This has been about 6 months worth of troubleshooting and trying various things to no avail, have spent a fair amount on this system and i just want to get the dam thing working propperly, and now i am STUMPED!
Anyone got any ideas? can supply dump files but none of the point to any one particular thing, i have attached a sshot from bluescreen view but as you can see theres no very very recent ones there, will make more recent one if requested

According to everything I read over at Newegg reviews your board requires a bios update in order to be compatible with the latest AMD cpu's like the 965. So if you havn't updated the bios yet you need to.
|My System Specs
|18 Oct 2010
Have tried 3 bios versions, one was incompatible with my CPU running it at only 800mhz no matter what i manually set in the bios and the other 2 still gave me blue screens. have tried a differnet vid card to no avail, the error codes are seldom the same twice
My first post went into detail of what i have tried so far, i have been playing with cpu and ram settings in the bios and still get the same thing happen, random BSoDs at random times, i have been at it for about 6 months and im growing tired of failure. Thinking of giving it to a computer shop but they will probably take forever trying to find the problem at a rediculously high chargeout rate
|My System Specs
|18 Oct 2010
Is this the version you tried? M4A79 Deluxe BIOS 3603
There are different options to flash bios. Have you tried them all?
|My System Specs
|18 Oct 2010
From what I read you need the bios 2304 for the AMD 965 125 watt version as opposed to the 140 watt version which requires a different bios.
Try using the T2 command rate for memory , as in 8 8 8 24 T2.
With your board, you can actually remove the cmos battery to bring up the bios flash utility and flash the bios from a USB drive.
Nearly every reported problem with this board had to do with getting the right bios for the CPU being used so I would attempt your repairs along that route if I was you.
Here is what people say about this board and CPU combo if you aren't using the correct bios.
Cons: DO NOT BUY THIS BOARD IF YOU ARE USING THE NEWEST 125 W AMD Phenom X4 BE. Here I am typing this review on a borrowed laptop because Asus was too lazy to recall dated boards. The board did not ship with the latest bios, and is incompatible out of the box with the previously mentioned chip.
Good luck with this, I have found after building many different boards that they seem to all have their own special requirements to get them working. It can be a real PITA to figure out which board requires which tweak in order to get it working so I feel your pain and have been there before.

Chevrolet Racing Supports "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" Program with Pink Chevy SS Pace Cars: Chevrolet is proud to once again support the American Cancer Society (ACS) "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" (MSABC) campaign with a special pink Chevrolet SS pace car program and breast cancer survivor activities at upcoming NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events at Atlanta, Talladega and Martinsville. The goal is to help raise awareness and to increase the more than $3 million that has already been contributed by Chevrolet since 2011. "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" pink Chevrolet SS pace cars will highlight the program at all three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series venues. For every lap a pink Chevrolet SS pace car leads under caution during those three Sprint Cup races, Chevrolet will donate $250 to the American Cancer Society. On each of the three race weekends, Chevrolet will also sponsor at-track survivor events, including special driver appearances, Chevrolet SS pace car rides and more. Now in its fourth year, the 2014 Chevrolet Racing campaign will kick-off at Atlanta Motor Speedway (AMS) during the weekend of August 29-31. Recently, the infield media center at AMS was named in memory of Marcy Scott, the track's late director of marketing and promotion, who lost her personal fight against breast cancer in November 2013. She was a strong proponent and advocate for Chevrolet's MSABC program, and a recipient of the National Motorsports Press Association (NMPA) Spirit Award. The building is now known as the "Marcy Scott Media Center." The specially themed pink Making Strides Chevrolet SS will pace the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia on Sunday August 31, 2014. As part of Chevrolet's continuing contributions to the American Cancer Society's "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" initiative, the Chevy SS will serve as the pace car for upcoming NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races in Hampton, Talladega and Martinsville. Chevrolet will donate $250 for every lap a pink Chevrolet SS pace car leads under caution during these three Sprint Cup races.(Team Chevy), see an image of the pink pace car on the 2014 Pace Car page.(8-30-2014)
Chevy wins challenge trophy: #48-Jimmie Johnson's victory also ended a three-race streak of Ford-powered cars in victory lane here, the Sprint Cup's closest stop to the headquarters of General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. Alba Colon, Chevrolet's program manager for NASCAR series, was happy to claim the challenge trophy that goes to the manufacturer who wins at Michigan International Speedway. "It's great to have a friendly competition and bring this trophy home to our office," she said. The last Chevy win at Michigan was Earnhardt's victory in June 2012.(NASCAR Wire Service)(6-17-2014)

GM Starts Work on New Performance and Racing Center: Last week General Motors began construction of a state-of-the-art facility for race engine design and development, as well as an electric motor laboratory and gear center. GM's continued investment in motorsports comes from the time-tested belief that racing is the ultimate proving ground for much of the technology that applies to the vehicles GM sells. Engineers and technicians from GM's race engineering center in Wixom, Mich. will move to the new facility in mid-2015. The relocation will centralize North American powertrain engineering expertise for production engines as well as advanced and racing propulsion programs. Condensing the engineering to one large space is an excellent way to develop race-bred engineers whether they work on production or performance vehicles. The move will include about 100 employees who work on powertrain racing development, electric motors and in the gear center. The new building is expected to be opened and in use by mid-2015 and completed by early 2016. The GMPRC is part of a $200 million investment GM announced last January to build a new 138,000 sq.-ft. test wing. At that time, the company announced work at four remote locations would consolidate on the Pontiac campus, helping to reduce development timing for GM's next-generation advanced propulsion technologies. When the moves are complete, about 400 jobs will be added to the Pontiac campus. Engineers at the GMPRC will work on powertrain-related projects for GM's involvement in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Verizon IndyCar Series, TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, Pirelli World Challenge, NHRA (COPO Camaro Program) and Global Rally Cross.(in part from a GM PR)(5-6-2014)
NASCAR considering reducing horsepower to Cup cars next season: NASCAR is planning on making significant engine package changes in 2015 to extend the life of Sprint Cup powerplants and reduce horsepower. And along with engine changes, there likely will be aerodynamic and tire changes for the Cup cars in 2015 as well. That's the word from NASCAR Vice President of Competition and Racing Development Robin Pemberton. Pemberton said the sanctioning body has had four meetings so far with representatives from Chevy, Ford and Toyota and race teams about how to implement those changes. No consensus has been reached yet, according to Pemberton, but discussions are ongoing in advance of making the changes for next year. Although Pemberton declined to specify how many horsepower NASCAR is looking to cut, sources familiar with the discussions said the reduction would be in the neighborhood of 75 to 100 horsepower. Currently, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series engines make about 860-900 horsepower at most tracks. Discussions are still in the early stages, Pemberton said, but given the fact that there are so few engine suppliers now, they will need plenty of lead-time to make changes for next year.
Among the options being discussed are reduction in engine displacement and changes to throttle body size. Sources familiar with the discussions say that Chevy and Toyota are pushing for a reduction to 5.0-liter engines, while the Ford camp is pushing for the use of tapered spacers, such as are used in the NASCAR Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series engines. Pemberton said any change in the engine package likely would necessitate other changes as well.
"It's not fully appreciated the fact that we've had the same engine for basically 25 or 30 years and it's at 850 or 860 horsepower, where it used to be 500," Pemberton said. "And we are at the same race tracks where we used to run 160 (miles per hour) we're now qualifying at 190 and running 213 going into the corners. There's been a lot of engineering and gains made across the board. Goodyear ... we have the same tire patch as when we started.(FoxSports)(3-23-2014)
Chevrolet SS to Pace 56th Daytona 500: Chevrolet unveiled the trio of vehicles that will pace NASCAR's opening round of events at Daytona International Speedway this weekend.
� 2014 Chevrolet SS in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Daytona 500
� 2014 Camaro SS 1LE in the NASCAR Nationwide Series Drive4COPD 300
� 2014 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series NextEra Energy 250
All three vehicles sport vibrant red paint schemes designed for this weekend's events. "Chevrolet is proud to be a part of NASCAR's season-opening events by pacing all of the races at Daytona International Speedway," said Jeff Chew, Marketing Manager for Chevrolet Racing. "This will mark Chevrolet's 11th time pacing the Daytona 500, and we are privileged to continue this heritage and our partnership with Daytona International Speedway again this year." The 2014 Chevrolet SS is the first rear-wheel drive performance sedan for Chevrolet since 1996. The Chevrolet SS is equipped with a 6.2L V-8 engine and is rated at SAE-certified 415 hp (310 kW), with paddle-shift six-speed automatic transmission. The 2014 Camaro SS 1LE was built for the track, and is characterized by performance. Under the hood is a 6.2 V-8 with 426 hp, and the eye-catching model is easily recognized with its unique graphics and multiple color options. The 2014 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab is all new hood to hitch. The all new Silverado 1500 Crew Cab comes equipped with the Max Towing Package, which offers trailering ratings of up to 12,000 pounds, which is more than any light-duty pickup currently on the market. Earlier this week, Chevrolet debuted its redesigned 2014 Silverado race truck in the Fan Zone and on the track at Daytona International Speedway. This season in NASCAR competition, Chevrolet is campaigning the Chevrolet SS in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, Camaro in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, and Silverado in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The Silverado pace truck will lead the field on Friday February 21. The Camaro SS 1LE will pace on Saturday February 22. The Chevrolet SS will guide the field for the 56th running of the Daytona 500 on Sunday February 23.(Team Chevy)(2-21-2014)
NASCAR pace car catches on fire during Sprint Unlimited UPDATE: With a full moon shining high above Daytona International Speedway, one of the most bizarre scenes in recent memory took place. As the field bunched up for the final 20-lap segment of the NASCAR Sprint Unlimited, smoke began billowing from one of the cars. No, not one of the race cars, it was the pace car. Pace car driver Brett Bodine pulled off the track as the trunk of the Chevrolet SS caught fire. Luckily, safety crews were quick on the scene to extinguish the fire. Come to find out, it was a battery pack used to power external lights that ignited the fire.(FoxSports)(2-16-2014)
Statement from Chevrolet: During the closing laps of the NASCAR Sprint Unlimited race, the pace car experienced a fire in the trunk area, which contains a purpose-built auxiliary electrical kit to operate the numerous caution lights during the race. The pace car driver and passenger safely exited the vehicle. An assessment is underway.(Team Chevy)(2-18-2014)
2014 Chevrolet SS passenger sedan available: The 2014 Chevrolet SS [which started running in NASCAR Sprint Cup in 2013] has been a long time coming-nearly two decades, in fact. It is the first rear-wheel-drive sedan powered by a V8 engine that Chevy has offered since it discontinued the Impala in 1996, which was antiquated even back then. "So what?" you might say. "Aren't large cars with large engines becoming obsolete?" Maybe, but there was a time when all Chevrolets were made like the 2014 SS. And although this new sport sedan will be sold only in small numbers-General Motors execs aren't saying how many, but it likely won't be much more than 5,000 a year, based on sales of similar vehicles like the Dodge Charger SRT8-it is poised to have a far greater impact on GM's corporate image.(full story and Q&A at Forbes.com)(1-2-2014)
Chevy can clinch Manufacturers' Championship UPDATE: Chevy can clinch its 11th consecutive NSCS Manufacturers' Championship, and 37th overall, this weekend at Martinsville. If Chevy's top finishing driver finishes ahead of Toyota's top finishing driver, Chevy will clinch the title in the first year of the Gen-6 race car.(NASCAR)(10-24-2013)
UPDATE: Jeff Gordon's win of the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 at Martinsville Speedway captured the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Manufacturers' Cup Championship for Chevy. It marks the 11th consecutive year, and the 37th time overall that the Bowtie Brand has captured the prestigious title in NASCAR's premiere series. It is also the first Manufacturers' Cup award for the Gen-6 Chevrolet SS race car. In the 33 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races run to-date in 2013, Chevy drivers have captured 14 victories. Chevrolet won its first Manufacturers' Cup award in 1958; and now with the 2013 Cup secured, Chevy has reached an unprecedented 37th title. The Team Chevy drivers that have contributed to the manufacturers' points that achieved the title for Chevy are: #48-Jimmie Johnson (five wins); #29-Kevin Harvick (three wins), #5-Kasey Kahne (two wins), #14-Tony Stewart (one win); #39-Ryan Newman (one win), #1-Jamie McMurray (one win), #24-Jeff Gordon (one win); #88-Dale Earnhardt Jr., #31-Jeff Burton, #42-Juan Pablo Montoya, and #78-Kurt Busch.(Chevy PR), For standings, rules, and manufacturers wins see the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Manufacturer Standings page.(10-27-2013)
Chevy may have left NASCAR without Gen 6 car: Chevrolet may have pulled out of NASCAR had the governing body not developed the new "Gen 6" car that returns brand identity to the sport. "It would have been a good chance," team owner Rick Hendrick said on Saturday at Daytona International Speedway. "As a matter of fact, I'm sure they might have." Hendrick, the owner of Hendrick Motorsports and one of the top owners of automobile dealerships in the United States, made the comment during the unveiling of the 2014 Chevrolet SS production car that will debut in NASCAR this season.(ESPN)(2-17-2013)
Chevrolet Will Set the Pace at Daytona: The 2014 Chevrolet SS will be very busy during its Speedweeks debut, pacing all four NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races - The Sprint Unlimited, both Budweiser Duels and the Daytona 500. And, it will be one of Chevrolet's three newest models to pace NASCAR's races at Daytona International Speedway next weekend:
� 2014 Chevrolet SS in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
� 2013 Camaro ZL1 in the NASCAR Nationwide Series Drive4COPD 300
� 2014 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series NextEra Energy 250
"Chevrolet is extremely proud to be a part of NASCAR's season-opener by pacing all of the events at Daytona International Speedway," said Jeff Chew, Marketing Manager for Chevrolet Racing. "In 2013, Chevrolet will launch 13 all-new or significantly redesigned products in North America. Included in those models is the Chevrolet SS, which race fans will get a chance to see on track when it paces The Sprint Unlimited tonight, the Budweiser Duels next Thursday, and the Daytona 500 next Sunday."
The 2014 Chevrolet SS is the first rear-wheel drive performance sedan for Chevrolet since 1996.
The 2013 Camaro ZL1 brings supercar levels of performance and technology to the sports-car segment, featuring a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 that produces 580 horsepower, and can go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds.
The 2014 Silverado all-new EcoTec3 engines, designed specifically for trucks, provide power and torque when needed, then switches seamlessly to 4-cylinder mode to save fuel for light-load driving.

2014 Chevrolet SS unveiled UPDATE: Chevrolet is scheduled to hold a press conference to unveil the 2014 Chevrolet SS passenger vehicle on Saturday around 1:00pm/et at the Fan Zone at Daytona International Speedway.(2-16-2013)
UPDATE: As Chevrolet's first V-8, rear-wheel-drive performance sedan since 1996, the new Chevrolet SS is designed to deliver performance on the street and on the track. The 2014 Chevrolet SS will debut this weekend at the Daytona International Speedway as the SS racecar makes its NASCAR debut during the Daytona 500. "The Chevrolet brand was largely built on the strength of rear-drive performance sedans, yet it's been 17 years since we've offered one," said Mark Reuss, president of General Motors North America. "The all-new Chevrolet SS fills that void and fills it better than any other vehicle in the brand's rich history. The comfort, convenience, spaciousness and V-8 power make the SS a total performance package unlike any other on the road today." The Chevrolet SS benefits from the proven, race-tested, global rear-wheel drive architecture that is the foundation for the Camaro, Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle and Holden's VF Commodore.
The Chevrolet SS is powered by the LS3 Chevrolet V-8, expected to deliver 415 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Also used in the 2013 Chevrolet Corvette, the LS3 displaces 6.2 liters, more than the 5.5-liter V-8 powering the Chevrolet SS NASCAR competitors. The LS3 is married to a six-speed automatic transmission, which can be shifted manually using TAPshift paddles mounted on the steering wheel. With an aggressive 3.27 final-drive ratio, the Chevrolet SS accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds - making it one of the quickest sedans on the market.
To ensure that it turns and stops as well as it accelerates; the Chevrolet SS also features a sport-tuned chassis, including:
� MacPherson strut front and multilink independent rear suspension geometry
� Electronic power steering system, optimized for sport driving
� Standard Brembo brakes, with ventilated, 355-mm rotors and two-piece, four-piston front calipers
� Forged aluminum wheels, wrapped in ultra-high-performance Bridgestone tires: 19 x 8.5 inch wheels with 245/40ZR19 tires in front; 19 x 9.0 inch wheels with 275/35ZR19 tires rear
Handling is also improved by a near 50/50 weight distribution, and a low center of gravity - made possible in part by the aluminum hood and rear deck lid that are 30 percent lighter than traditional steel panels. "Our goal was to create a car that delivers incredible grip and handling balance while cornering, while still being comfortable to drive on the road," said David Leone, executive chief engineer GM global programs. "The perfect weight balance and lower center of gravity were a big part of that goal because it enabled the team to tune for a more comfortable highway ride without sacrificing handling or driver confidence while cornering at the limits."
Similarly, the design of the SS blends performance cues and premium details. "From every angle, the Chevrolet SS says power and performance," said John Cafaro design director Chevrolet passenger cars and small crossovers. "The combination of an aggressive rear-wheel drive stance and body-side attitude with the right balance of detail and refinement inside and out are the perfect home for Chevrolet's V-8 performance package."
The staggered front and rear wheels, which are pushed out to the corners, enhance the sporting, muscular stance of the SS. Up front, the aluminum hood features a subtle "power bulge" hinting at the power of the engine underneath. At the rear, the tapered, tear-drop shape contributes to improved aerodynamic performance. Premium cues include jewel-like chrome accents, standard high-intensity discharge headlamps and light-emitting diode daytime running lights.
The spacious interior of the SS will comfortably accommodate five adults, with 42 inches of front legroom, and 39 inches of rear legroom. Leather seating surfaces are standard, as are eight-way power adjustable front bucket seats with additional side bolstering that hug the driver and front passenger in tight-handling situations. The SS emblem is prominently stitched onto the soft-touch instrument panel which features two types of chrome finishes - a satin gloss and a bright chrome. At night, the interior is illuminated by ice blue ambient lighting.
An integrated center stack includes infotainment, climate and other vehicle controls. The Chevrolet SS also offers a long list of technology features as standard equipment including:
� Color, in-dashboard touch screen that supports Chevrolet MyLink and the next-generation navigation system
� Bose Nine-speaker premium sound system
� Color heads-up display
� Push-button start
� StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control
� Forward Collision Alert
� Lane Departure Warning
� Side Blind Zone Alert
� Rear-vision camera Rear Cross Traffic Alert
The SS is also the first Chevrolet to offer Automatic Parking Assist, which provides hands-free parking help. This efficient 'hands-free' parking assistant uses the ultrasonic sensing system to detect the width and depth of either parallel or reverse right-angle parking spaces. While the driver controls the throttle, transmission, and brake, the Automatic Parking Assist controls the steering inputs necessary to neatly park the Chevrolet SS.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS will be available in the fourth quarter of 2013, with prices set closer to the on-sale date. When it arrives in showrooms, the SS will join the Corvette and Camaro, whose combined sales have made Chevrolet America's favorite performance brand for the last two years.(Team Chevy)(2-16-2013)


text: The Pictures March 11, 2013 Issue Fussbudget Vérité By Tad Friend Table of Contents Alex Karpovsky Credit Tom Bachtell After Alex Karpovsky collected his breakfast at Café Grumpy, which he described as a "green-tea something something" and a "Japanese-eggplant something something," he settled at a table in the back. His hair was tidy, his shirt was preppy, and his demeanor was cheerful. This all seemed a profound betrayal both of the café—a Greenpoint institution where Karpovsky's character, Ray, serves espressos on HBO's "Girls"—and of the Eeyoreish, thrift-store vibe he exudes on the show and as a semi-celebrated maker of marginal films. Soon enough, though, Karpovsky was nettled by the racket from a not-really-all-that-rackety roasting machine. He gave it a series of affronted glances. It was this fussiness that caught the eye of the creator of "Girls," Lena Dunham. He recalled, "We had a meal at Veselka"—a Ukrainian joint in the East Village—"and I changed tables two or three times because we were too near other tables, or I was hearing conversations that I didn't enjoy, or there was a draft." Karpovsky wrote, directed, and stars in two no-budget films that have just become available on demand, should there be a demand: a psychological thriller, "Rubberneck," and a road-trip comedy called "Red Flag." Though the films were made for less than twenty thousand dollars each, they feel compendious and fully inhabited. Yet, even as he shows promise of becoming his generation's Woody Allen, a deadpan noticer of indignity, Karpovsky remains in the milk-crate-décor stage of adult life. He lives sublet to sublet in Greenpoint and Williamsburg, lacking a credit card and, he's convinced, a credit score. His rootlessness, he said, "is rooted in my long-standing commitment phobia." And, indeed, when he was asked how long-standing he himself is, Karpovsky looked ready to change tables. "I categorize age as a medical condition," he said, finally. "What if I asked you about your last operation?" He pointed out that when, recently, Ray revealed that he was thirty-three—a Methuselaic number in the dewy context of "Girls," yet still "younger than I am"—Twitter was aghast. But he acknowledged that his coyness also derived from simple vanity: "I usually have to have two or three drinks in me to watch myself in my films, to be protected. I don't want to be so aware of my tics and mannerisms." Could he just cast someone else? He sighed. "That's going to trespass into another of my problems, which is trust issues." Karpovsky's parents emigrated from Russia to Newton, Massachusetts, when he was two, and he grew up an only child on a lonely street, with "Three's Company" and "The Facts of Life" for companionship. "The person I'm closest to in the world is my mom"—a retired dental assistant—"but we have a language and cultural divide," he said. "We speak in Russian at a seven-year-old level, so I can't get into the details of what I really feel. And when I tell her, 'The show won a Golden Globe,' she'll say, 'When are they sending you the trophy?' I often end conversations with her in a hissy fit at myself for not being able to communicate, and at her for not learning English." He's been writing a black comedy, set in the yoga resort town of Tulum, Mexico, during the recent Mayan non-apocalypse, in which he'll star opposite an actress playing his sibling. He always wanted an older sister: "She would have been confident and self-deprecating, she would have given me sex advice, and she would have introduced me to her cool friends so I would have lost my virginity at an earlier age." How old were you? He gave a medical-procedure wince. "It was very, very, very, very late." In both "Rubberneck" and "Red Flag," Karpovsky's character engages in awkward sex, feels invisible, and contemplates suicide. He noted that these characteristics weren't entirely autobiographical—"I do, on occasion, enjoy sexual relations"—but acknowledged an abiding sense of neglect. "All the independent films I've made or acted in, except for Lena's 'Tiny Furniture,' have 2.6 seconds in the spotlight and then no one ever watches them again." He said he often thinks about "that actor who played Larry, who lives upstairs on 'Three's Company' "—Richard Kline. "We didn't see much of him after that. That's why I try to make my own movies, to have some kind of grip on my own fate." He gave the now docile roasting machine another glare, just in case, and continued, "Spike Jonze, or Jim Jarmusch—that's the perfect level of fame to have, where only the cool people recognize you, and I'm not even close to that." He cheered up a bit at this further declaration of shortcoming. "Where I am is, sometimes you lock eyes with someone on the subway, and they won't speak to you, but then they run away and tweet about it later." ♦ Tad Friend has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1998.

No 4.4 in the Store for me, just 3.6.3 (Verizon Icon).
Several of us have this same problem, so it will be interesting learn your outcome. Thanks !
Maybe this "Blue" OS update is short for "Code Blue" as defined in hospitals ?
I went to my local Staples this afternoon here in Minneapolis, they were sold out. Then they told me that had had only 64GB machines. And then they told me that they had started with only two of...
I know I have lots of duplicate files in my "wherehouse". Do you know of a tool that can find them and present the results in a fashion that allows safe de-duplication ? Thanks !
Good first...
The Verizon 822 feels like a brick and looks cheap. Plus the display color was messed up on demo units in the store. So I moved from a HTC Trophy after a year to the HTC 8X.
Terrific, now I have to scroll first before I can see the new content. Now that's an improvement.

JPEG and PNG quality is hardcoded.
Where is that in the code? Would like to change the setting on my site too.

Sorry but cannot see any difference in quality in either example (using IE9 and FF18.02) ?
Perhaps your browser ?

If they'd load that class via the IPSLib::loadLibrary() method everywhere, then a library hook could be made which would override the init() function and define new $quality values, but there's apparently only one place in the entire codebase I can find where they do it that way, in /admin/applications_addon/ips/downloads/sources/classes/moderate.php, line 766. You may want to submit that as a bug report. If the class can be loaded via the IPSLib::loadLibrary() method, then it always should be.

Sorry but cannot see any difference
Take a closer look. Here is a lot of noise around the text on both sides of the gradient boundary.

Hope this very easy but useful feature be implemented in 4.x.
Posted 08 August 2013 - 10:08 AM
I actually changed the hardcoded value myself a long time ago, I would support this as a setting.
75 is kinda low, which is the current default. 85 is what I usually use for most regular images, sometimes a little higher depending on the focus.
(I have forums/galleries that are for sharing drawings and sketches, for example, where quality is more important. I usually keep a quality setting of 90 here. Anything above 90 causes a more significant jump in file size with diminishing returns on quality)
I also usually use PNG avatars on here as well, to prevent IPB from degrading the quality of them too much ehehe

10 Tips For Breaking Up With Your Girlfriend
If you feel like your relationship is on the rocks, you need these ten tips for breaking up with your girlfriend. While these kind of situations are never pleasant, the following tips and guidelines for breaking up with your girlfriend might make the experience a little easier. Always remember that even though breaking up with your girlfriend is never a fun thing to do, it will get better with time.
- Pick the right place. You don't want to be breaking up with your girlfriend in the middle of a mall or restaurant—in fact, the less public the place, the better. There might be a lot of feelings being put out there, so you don't want to be airing out your dirty laundry for everyone to see. In the end, it's best to do it at either one of your homes.
- Give yourself enough time. In breaking up with your girlfriend, you need to have sufficient time to let everything get settled. Don't think that your 45-minute lunch break will give either of you enough time to say what needs to be said. Pick some time where you both know you'll have an entire day to talk things out.
- Don't be insensitive. It always sucks being on the business end of the break up, so don't rub it into her face that you're done with her. Carry yourself with tact, but also be sure that she understands everything you say.
- Don't keep her around for sex. If you're breaking up with your girlfriend, the last thing you want to do is give her any false hope. Put your desires aside and let her know that you're not going to try to initiate contact with her for the sake of physical desire.
- Don't drag things out. Yes, you do need to give yourself enough time to talk things through, but don't belabor the fact that the two of you are breaking up. This is going to be hard enough on her as it is, so there's no use in pulling the bandage off slowly, so to speak.
- Keep your emotions in check. You might see breaking up with your girlfriend as some newfound freedom, but there's no reason to illustrate that point to her. Don't seem overtly happy that the two of you are breaking up. Be sensitive to her feelings and you'll see the experience to be more manageable.
- Pick a good date. Don't try breaking up with your girlfriend around the holidays or any sort of significant date for her, such as a birthday. Furthermore, definitely don't try and break up around an anniversary for the two of you—this just screams insensitivity. Pick a normal day where two of you have enough time to talk things out.
- Don't attack her. It's one thing to tell someone that you need to go your separate ways, but it's another beast entirely to pick her apart as a human being. She's already being dumped, so there's no reason you need to make her feel any worse. Just stick to the topic at hand and be as tact as possible.
- Don't immediately ask for your stuff back. Give her enough time to get over you before you start asking for your things back, Doing so immediately is just rubbing salt in the wound.
- Do it in person. When you're breaking up with your girlfriend, you should do it like a man. Don't do it with a phone call, email, or text message. Simply nut up and talk to her in person, simple as that.

text: Teen Performer at Obama Inaugural Shot Dead In Chicago Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 30 Jan 2013 post a comment The heartbreaking gun violence the media chooses to ignore because there would be no political upside in reporting it, continues unabated in Obama's Chicago -- a city run only by Democrats and unions, and with some of the toughest gun controls in the country (see why the media ignores it?). Already this year, 41 people have been murdered in the Windy City, a ten-year record. Yesterday, 15 year-old Hadiya Pendleton was number 42. Hadiya wasn't a drug dealer or gang member or any kind of troublemaker, as far as we know. She was a lovely, young honor student who enjoyed the privilege of performing with her school band at President Obama's inauguration earlier this month. Yesterday, after an exam, she was gunned down in a Chicago park known to be frequented by gang members. As I write this, all three cable networks are broadcasting wall-to-wall coverage of congressional gun control hearings. Obama and the Democrats and the media are currently on a crusade to pass laws that would have done nothing to stop the Sandy Hook massacre that supposedly inspired this crusade. And if the slaying of Hadiya Pendleton ends up being what it looks like, those laws would have done nothing to save her young life. You see, Democrats and their media aren't all that concerned with hundreds upon hundreds of poor, mostly minority, gun-violence victims in Chicago. Because, in order to make such a thing a national cause, they must explain why a city completely controlled by Democrats isn't working; why a place where suffocating gun controls are in place is experiencing record murder rates; why what on paper should be a Liberal Utopia is a near-bankrupt hell-hole. The media has a choice. While pretending its gun control crusade will save a life, it can exploit Sandy Hook into a culture war against the NRA and the mostly conservative Red State types who own assault weapons. Or the media can go into Chicago and actually make a difference by calling attention to and focusing on what turned it into the Wild West. As we all know, the media has already made its choice. And if you're wondering how they sleep at night, that's an easy one. The murdered in Chicago aren't victims; they're sacrifices to The Cause. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Kelly Lee Osbourne was born in London, England, on October 27, 1984. This girl is the daughter of heavy metal pioneer John "Ozzy" Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's longtime manager and wife. Kelly has four siblings: Jessica Starshine and Louis Osbourne, born in 1972 and 1975, respectively, are from Ozzy's former marriage, while Aimee and Jack Osbourne, born in 1983 and 1986, are Kelly's full siblings.
To say that Osbourne had an unusual upbringing would be an understatement. Kelly was born during Ozzy's 1980s comeback heyday, and spent as much time in hotel rooms while her father was on tour, as she did in the English countryside being traditionally schooled. As a result, Kelly and the rest of the Osbournes became unusually combative and frank, but close, too.
In 1995, the Osbournes made a permanent relocation to Los Angeles, a strategic move from which Ozzy was to make his next comeback. But home life continued to be dysfunctional, and Osbourne dropped out of school by the tenth grade.

Evening Magazine
In the spring of 2014, Evening Magazine began developing a video series highlighting our community partners and Washington State farmers and food producers. Look for a fresh video every two weeks!
Take a field trip to the Rainier Beach Urban Farm and Wetland and experience farm-fresh produce along with a class of preschoolers. Then, learn how our Farm-to-School bagged organic apples support such fantastic programs. Last year's apples generated more than $42,000 for the farm!
Pumpkins take to the skies (02:04)
Mike Shriver's organic pumpkins get a few moments of glorious flight before they're packed into crates and shipped to us to be sold as jack o'lanterns.
Shriver farms about 40 different organic crops at Rents Due Ranch (the lack of apostrophe on the 's' is deliberate). He's been supplying PCC since the early '90s. According to Shriver, it's a mutually beneficial relationship:
The varietal of jack o'lantern pumpkins he grows have long, sturdy handles for stems, creating fun opportunities for creative carving. You'll also find his dense, sweet Sugar Pie pumpkins if you're in the mood for pie.
Crush Time at Tieton Cider Works (02:28)
Tieton Cider Works doesn't just press apples into cider — they grow them as well. Craig Campbell is a third-generation Yakima farmer who's been growing apples organically for 25 years. The team turns those apples, along with other fruits like cherries, apricots and pumpkins, into award-winning ciders that pair wonderfully with many foods.
The smiling faces and honking horns at Redmond's annual 'Big Truck Day' are proof that little kids adore big rigs. But can a brightly painted box truck get kids to adore healthy food? PCC Natural Market's new TasteMobile is a fun way to beat fussy eating. Kids give their tastes a thumbs up or a thumbs down using a simple voting system. The results are tallied, and popular items will get a coveted 'Kid Picks' label at PCC stores.
Evening Magazine's Jim Dever challenges PCC Chef Lynne Vea to make a healthy meal for a family of four for just $12. Watch Lynne create a delicious meal featuring spaghetti, heirloom tomatoes and green beans.
Nash's Organic Produce (03:22)
Over the years he's been farming in the Dungeness River Valley, Nash Huber has grown his operation from 40 acres to 700. His incredibly sweet carrots (picked on demand for PCC) are downright famous, and his crops now include incredible whole grain flours. Nash shares his philosophy on multi-generational sustainability: growing great produce, providing good jobs and protecting organic farmland forever.
Schooner Exact Brewing (02:35)
Meet the family behind Schooner Exact Brewery in South Seattle. Every time you raise a pint of First Session IPA, their exclusive PCC Farmland Trust brew, you save farmland!
The petite 35-acre Little Eorthe Farm is part of the larger Orting Valley Farms, a PCC Farmland Trust project since 2009. Little Eorthe's 600 hens are free to roam acres of healthy pasture, and it's no surprise that this relaxed, highly nutritious lifestyle results in delicious eggs. We talk to farmer Carrie Little about how she uses the chickens to help clear and fertilize her land while collecting their exceptional eggs. You'll find these eggs at our Seward Park, Issaquah and West Seattle locations.
Best Blueberries (03:46)
Mark LaPierre, of LaPierre Farms in Zillah, Wash., uses everything from falcons to blow-up toys to ensure his berries are the best. They're so good, PCC Natural Markets buys the whole crop.
We've come up with a fun way to get kids excited about fruits and veggies, and positively involve them in food shopping choices. Visit Market Night at Bailey Gatzert Elementary school and find out why these kids prefer carrots to candy.

Nu Smoothie's Orange Mango Passion is a 100 percent blend of purées and juices, including orange, mango, apple, banana and passion fruit. The product, which is made in France, has an extremely sweet taste, to the point where the sugary flavor lingers and coats your mouth afterward. While it's certainly a straightforward product (you can taste all of the fruit ingredients), we really don't know what this product adds to the market that can't already be found in other established brands (aside from perhaps a Tetra Pak container that's shelf stable). To that end, calling it "Nu" seems somewhat like the opposite of reality, especially when it is only available in two SKUs (as it is in the U.S.A. at the time of publication). Visually, the product has a clean and appealing design on its 250 mL package, but again, it's the name that's confusing as it sounds like something that is calling out a functional benefit. Overall, we're left feeling as though Nu is chasing a juice/nectar market that existed a decade ago -- it just doesn't seem on trend today.

Google Glass – first look and five key features
Google Glass is Google's sci-fi-esque wearable tech that lets you take photos, record videos, browse the web, make video calls and access maps of your surroundings – and, unlike smartwatches, all without the need for a mobile phone.
Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch – watch our first look video
Glass' functions revolve around a tiny translucent display that sits on the edge of your field of vision. The overlay can display incoming emails, or information about nearby landmarks for example. This, when combined with voice recognition and simple touch controls, creates a smartphone level of functionality, but from a new perspective.
Google has as yet refused to reveal a release window or likely price, though prototypes are currently being road-tested. We went to Google HQ to try a pair out. Read on for our first impression of Google Glass.
Google Glass – five key features
Voice recognition – Google Glass is mostly used through voice command. Functions such as web searching require you to say aloud what you're looking for. Saying 'Glass, Google search Which? Tech Daily' for example would direct you to our blog site.
Once there you navigate by touching the frame of your Google Glass with your finger. Swiping left and right moving you through the site, or swiping down to send you back a level. Compatible websites will even play their content audibly, meaning you can negotiate a busy street without bumping into lampposts, but while still learning about nearby landmarks.
Camera – Glass includes a 5 megapixel camera, that is also capable of recording video at a 720p high resolution. Saying 'Glass, take a picture' will take a snap of whatever you are looking at. The 12.5GB on board storage should be enough to store plenty of images and videos; while Glass will also sync your media with your Google+ cloud account.
Glassware apps – Glassware is Google's name for the apps compatible with Glass. Fifteen apps currently exist for the device, including Gmail, Google+, Twitter, Tumblr and Field Trip (that displays contextual information about your surroundings). Expect considerably more apps to be available when Glass eventually goes on sale.
Battery – Google confirmed that the Google Glass battery will last for approximately 24 hours with 'average' usage. Glass can also record video for up to 45 minutes and let you make a 30 minute video call on a single charge.
That's considerably less battery life than a phone but Google did confirm that Glass would only take around an hour to charge fully from empty, due to its included micro-USB charger that delivers twice the amps of a standard charger.
Phone tethering – Glass can access wi-fi networks independently of your smartphone, but is still able to communicate with your handset via Bluetooth. This means Glass can make phone calls, piggyback your phone's 3G connection (if not in a wi-fi area) and display incoming texts. And best of all – it isn't limited to any specific phone and is even compatible with iOS.
Expert opinion
After encountering Google Glass for the first time I have to say I'm impressed. The feeling of looking out, but with the addition of a visual overlay, is hard to describe. Importantly, the display is small enough to be unobtrusive. I'd go out on a limb to say that seeing the world through Glass would become second nature with time.
I don't think that Glass is as scary as I thought it might be either. The fact that Google has designed it so that its default setting is off is crucial. It means that only by tapping the device does the display become visible in the user's vision – hopefully ending fears of us being bombarded with unwelcome adverts when walking down a busy street.
My only reservations centre around its as yet unannounced price. I'd suggest that a lower price is essential for two reasons: first I wouldn't fancy wearing something on my head worth over £500, for obvious reasons.
Secondly, a cheaper price should encourage people to buy and, to be completely honest, I don't think I'd feel comfortable wearing Glass out in the wild unless enough other people are doing the same. Especially because it requires you to talk to it to access its functions.

"My only reservations centre around its as yet unannounced price"
No privacy issues for you then.
Hi Terry,
It's a valid question. We actually asked Google about privacy and our concerns there. The company's response was reasonably convincing.
First, you have to actually say 'Glass, take a picture' / 'Glass, record a video' to activate the camera. Obviously not a particularly covert action as you have to speak loudly and clearly.
Glass also displays a red light when recording, so again, at least you can tell when its active.
Finally, the fact it's physically on your head is another key point. If for example you wanted to sneakily record something, it's certainly not the most inconspicuous device on the market.
When the device nears launch we'll certainly take a closer look at any lingering privacy fears again though.
Not really sure why people get so concerned about privacy issues.
Its no difference from using a mobile phone, a headcam or even a carcam, let alone a device designed to be concealed.
How could people who already wear prescription spectacles use Google glass?

This week's Milk Carton goes to the two safeties, Major Wright and Chris Conte. The carton is a familiar place for them. Their play in the running game is every bit as bad as their play in the passing game. I consider them to be more of dangers than safeties. They take such horrible angles on runs that it makes me wonder how they ever got into the NFL.
The run defense as a whole was pretty bad, but given the fact that they are so banged up, I couldn't put the whole unit on the cover. I felt like the run defense picked up a lot throughout most of the second half (until the Ravens started ripping off huge chunks on that freaking draw play over and over). But because some of the unit have not seen much action at all, I can't put them on the carton.
Giving up 174 yards on the ground to a struggling running game is almost inexcusable, but I understand that some of the defensive players aren't used to getting this much playing time. What excuse do young veterans Chris Conte and Major Wright have? None. The way they play in the run game especially is atrocious.

New Jersey Devils vs Dallas Stars – Game 1 of 2 – January 9, 2014
Devils (17-18-9) TV – MSG+
Stars (20-15-7) TV – FSSW
The New Jersey Devils and Dallas Stars will meet for the first time this season tonight in their only meeting at the Prudential Center in Newark. The Devils and Stars are in similar situations, albeit of different magnitude. Both teams are vying for Wild Card spots and both teams stand 4 points out of the 2nd Wild Card spot.
However, the Western Conference is just nasty at what they do this season. The Stars have 4 more points than the Devils and still sit 4 points out of a Wild Card spot. While the Devils can also hope for a Top-3 spot in the Metropolitan Division, the Stars sit 11 points behind the 3rd-place Colorado Avalanche.
Because that's just how good the Western Conference is.
In the Devils' case, they absolutely need this win to keep pace in the Eastern Conference. They sit in 6th-place in the Wild Card race and at best could jump up to a tie with the Carolina Hurricanes in 5th. The same scenario also plays out in the division with the Devils in 6th and Carolina in 5th. Carolina also plays tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a traditional "pick-your-poison" type game.
Cory Schneider will be in net tonight to try and "redeem" himself from a 2-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres last Saturday. He had 20 saves but gave up two goals in a game that saw his save percentage at .909 for the game.
Kari Lehtonen will presumably get the start tonight with the Stars having a few days off between their last game on Monday night. Lehtonen has been very bad in 2014 thusfar. On January 2nd against the Montreal Canadiens, he gave up 5 goals, made 22 saves, and had an .815 save percentage.
On January 4th, he gave up 2 goals but was pulled early after only 12 saves and finished with an .857 save percentage in the 5-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings.
On Monday, it all boiled out of control. He made 36 saves but gave up a whopping 7 goals to the New York Islanders in a 7-3 loss. His save percentage still suffered at .837.
If there was a night for the Devils' offense to redeem themselves to Schneider, tonight would be a great night to do it against a struggling Lehtonen if he indeed starts.
Other important games:
- Florida Panthers @ Buffalo Sabres – Why are we talking about this game? If the Panthers win and the Devils lose, they will be only 3 points behind New Jersey in the standings. Yeah, those Panthers.
- Toronto Maple Leafs @ Carolina Hurricanes – As previously mentioned, this is a "pick-your-poison" Eastern Conference matchup. The Maple Leafs sit in the second Wild Card spot with 47 points (4 ahead of NJ) while the Hurricanes are ahead of the Devils in both the Metropolitan and Wild Card race by 2 points. In case you were wondering, the New York Rangers sit in the third Divisional Playoff Spot with 47 points.
- Washington Capitals @ Tampa Bay Lightning – The Capitals have taken somewhat of a fall from grace lately. They now sit in a tie for third in the Wild Card Race (46 points) and have fallen to 4th in the Metropolitan Division and could even drop to 5th depending on how the Carolina game unfolds tonight. The Capitals can also take back third place in the Division with a win tonight.
- Detroit Red Wings @ San Jose Sharks – The Red Wings have the top Wild Card spot but only by a point. Depending on the Toronto game tonight, they could fall down a spot in the Wild Card race tonight. In relation to the Devils, the Red Wings are 5 points ahead of the Devils with 48.
